Orlando Polybutylene Pipe Replacement

Polybutylene pipes are blue or gray and somewhat flexible as opposed to PVC or CPVC pipes that are rigid and white or off-white. They are sometimes referred to as plastic pipes.

Polybutylene pipes have a manufacturer’s defect that causes the pipe to split over time. This causes major plumbing problems for homeowners with these pipes resulting in extensive plumbing services. Polybutylene pipes were installed in approximately six million homes in the United States from January 1978 to July 31, 1995.

Due to the manufacturer’s defect in Polybutylene pipes, a class action lawsuit was settled in 1995. Homeowners involved in this class action lawsuit were able to replace their Polybutylene pipes with PVC or CPVC pipes with money from the pipe settlement fund.

Today, many homes are still undergoing the process of Polybutlylene pipe replacement. During this process, all Polybutylene pipes must be located, removed, and then replaced with PVC or CPVC pipes. They are usually located in an attic, crawl space, or water heater closet. They are often installed beneath insulation materials.
