Plumber Charlotte Ballantyne NC
Ballantyne Corporate Park was started in 1992, so most houses here were built in the 1990s and later.
Most homes built since the mid-1970s have plastic pipe. Original iron or galvanized pipe is therefore unlikely; equipment such as water heaters and irrigation backflow devices is what ages.
A. O. Smith says a leak from the base of a water heater is often the first sign of a corroded tank; see water heater replacement.
Equipment and backflow
If your home has an irrigation system, Charlotte Water requires a backflow prevention assembly on it, and every backflow device must be tested by an approved tester.
Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement issues plumbing permits for that work in Mecklenburg County, and it lists the N.C. State Plumbing Code.
Do Ballantyne houses have older pipe?
Not unless a house predates the development. Ballantyne was developed from 1992, and most homes built since the mid-1970s have plastic pipe.
Does my Ballantyne irrigation backflow device need a yearly test?
Yes. Charlotte Water's backflow FAQ says to have the device tested annually, and that approved testers send their results to Charlotte Water. Charlotte Water says every backflow prevention device must be tested by a tester on the approved list. You may choose any tester on that list. All of them can test in Mecklenburg County.
