Free to homeowners in Lewes — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
The short answer
In Lewes, 34% of homes date from 1970 to 1999. Whether a repipe is the right answer depends on which pipe is actually behind the walls, and that has to be identified rather than assumed from the year.

34% of the housing in Lewes falls in the 1970-1999 band. Whether a repipe is the right answer depends on what is behind your own walls, not on the year alone.
What this site is
PipeRenew is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands, and replacing a water distribution system is a permitted alteration nearly everywhere — ask to see the permit. We carry out no work, we sell no materials, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call. Nothing here is legal advice about any claim.Lewes in numbers

Polybutylene is the one with a history
Gray plastic supply pipe installed between roughly 1978 and 1995 was the subject of a class action that has long since closed. Its presence is not an emergency; it is a reason to plan rather than to wait for a failure.
What you have decides everything
Copper, galvanized steel, polybutylene, CPVC and PEX fail in different ways and on different timescales. A repipe quoted without anybody identifying the pipe is a quote for an unknown job.
