The problem with Polybutylene pipes

Poly-B was used between 1985-1997 in many homes.

It wasn’t put under real-world testing before
approval. That was a mistake.
Poly-B piping is known to be unreliable and is not accepted by the current plumbing codes. If your existing plumbing system is Poly-B, most insurance companies will reject insuring your home and/or your investment until you update your Poly-B plumbing system! John G. Plumbing specializes in Poly-B replacement! John has almost 3 decades of experience in repiping detached homes and apartment buildings – contact us for more info.

Reasons to fix your pipes?
Give us a call

Avoid thousands of dollars in unexpected repair costs

Chlorine in the water supply degrades Poly-B piping over time, which leads to unwanted leaks inside your walls.

Bends in the piping that were appropriate at the time of installation become problem spots once the material begins to weaken and can tear in half. Even hairline fractures from overtightened crimp fittings become leaks as the material splits.

Poly B Replacement Process

Poly B Replacement Process

Map & Prepare

The water system will be mapped to determine the most cost-efficient replacement.

Next, we’ll prepare by cutting sections of drywall to access the pipes. These sections are completely different in all houses or multiple residential complexes, as each build is somewhat unique.

Dry-Fitting & Connecting

Dry-fitting means we ensure the pipes fit before turning off your water supply or removing old pipes. This helps minimize water interruption. Once they are in place, we connect to existing fixtures like sinks, showers, laundry, etc. The old system is now removed.

Do I have poly-b pipes in my home? How can you know?

How can you know?

Our plumbers specialize in Poly-B pipes and can inspect your building.

These pipes are often found under your sinks, basement ceiling, shower, etc. Checking for metal does not work as the metal fittings can give a false positive. A visual inspection is required to know for sure. We know where to look, and how to identify any problems with your plumbing. Next, you’ll be given a report to discuss your options moving forward. Let’s chat.
