Polybutylene Pipe Replacement Greenacres Fl

A polybutylene pipe replacement is essential due the danger that it causes, although many polybutylene piping problems originate from a lousy plumbing installation, other issues are with the piping itself.

Polybutylene pipe (often referred to as “POLY” pipe ) tends to wear away from the within because the oxidant hold in the water, and it is continuously running through the inside of the tube. The pipe looks all right from the outside to make this very hard to identify.

POLY was installed instead of copper because it was very fast reinstallation and was said to last for a very long time. The contractors love this because the price of copper was very high at the time.

The gray pipe was installed everywhere every housing development that was manufactured in the early 80s until mid-90s a large percentage of them had polybutylene pipe.

The longevity of the piping system had its flaws, over time the connection rings were breaking and causing floods, the company US brass, declared bankruptcy because of the tremendous financial burden of the piping system.

There is still a lot of polybutylene pipe unaware of the homeowner that it is in their house. Now, most insurance companies will not insure a home if it has polybutylene pipe inside, remove it entirely and be sure of the new proper installation.

When buying or selling a house,  inspect to make sure that you do not have this type of piping in your home for your protection.

The water restoration companies love this piping because it generates a lot of money for them to do the cleanup. A typical cleanup of flooding can average anywhere from $5000-$25,000 depending on the damage.

So if you are a homeowner in the areas of Jog Road, or your house is from the 80′  make a professional plumber inspect which kind of pipe you have at home.
