What goes wrong in Sampson County homes
1980s and 90s construction and polybutylene
35% of homes were built between 1980 and 1999. Polybutylene supply pipe was installed widely in US homes from about 1978 to 1995, so houses from these years are worth checking for gray plastic pipe stamped PB2110, usually visible at the water heater or under sinks. Insurers and buyers often ask about it. See polybutylene replacement.
Mostly electric homes
82% of occupied homes here heat with electricity, and electric tank water heaters are the norm. Failed elements and thermostats are repairable, but tanks that leak need replacement. Heat pump water heaters are an efficient replacement where there's space and airflow.
Propane service
14% of homes here use bottled or tank propane for heat, typical of areas beyond the gas mains. Propane water heaters, ranges and generators need correctly sized lines and fittings rated for LP. See gas appliance hookups.
