Self service in bay heating questions

Hello All,

New to the group but I am in processing of purchasing a 6 bay self service car wash in Michigan that has been out of service for 4+ years and so in process of learning about the challenges. One is the in bay floor heating. I looked at all the access ports for the valves and they are all rusted or corroded. Is any of this replaceable or can be checked for functionality? My GC wants to level the place and build new due to this, the lines look like PEX or flexible PVC? Can the valves, manifolds be replaced with a new boiler heat system?

You can pressure test the lines to see if there are leaks underground or in the manifolds. Why do you have a GC? Of course there going to want to level the place. Thats more money in their pocket. You should post actual pics of the building and equipment. If you do level the building and build new you will never make your money back as a 6 bay SS.
