Polybutylene Pipe Replacement in Clementon, NJ
Polybutylene was installed in millions of homes built from about 1978 to 1995. It is a gray, sometimes blue, flexible plastic pipe, often stamped PB2110. Chlorine in municipal water breaks it down from the inside, and the pipe tends to fail at fittings with little warning.
SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Clementon, NJ homeowners with plumbers who remove polybutylene and replace it. Inside the house that usually means a whole house repiping in PEX. Outside, a blue PB service line from the meter is replaced with copper or HDPE.
Look for the pipe at the water heater, under sinks and where the main enters the house. Plastic acetal fittings and aluminum crimp rings are the older style and the most failure prone. Copper crimp rings were used later but do not fix the pipe itself.
Many insurers and home buyers now ask about polybutylene by name. Call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301 to plan your polybutylene pipe replacement.
