🚨 The Hidden Danger of Polybutylene Pipes in Your Home
Why Apopka Homeowners Are Calling All Cool Heat Plumbing & General Contractor Inc for Professional Re-Piping
If your home was built between 1978 and 1995, there’s a chance your plumbing system uses polybutylene (PB) pipes — a material once praised for its low cost but now known as one of the most unreliable types of plumbing ever installed.
These gray, flexible pipes were widely used in homes across Apopka, Orlando, and Orange County, but decades later, homeowners are discovering the hidden risks that come with them.
⚠️ What Are Polybutylene Pipes?
Polybutylene is a type of plastic resin used in water supply lines throughout the U.S. from the late 1970s until the mid-1990s.
At the time, it was promoted as a “revolutionary” material for its flexibility and affordability.
However, over time, exposure to water chemicals like chlorine causes the inside of PB pipes to deteriorate, crack, and eventually burst — often without warning.
💧 The Big Risks of Having Polybutylene Pipes
If your home still has PB plumbing, you’re at risk of:
Sudden Leaks or Flooding – Polybutylene pipes can burst with little to no visible warning.
Water Damage and Mold Growth – Hidden leaks inside walls and ceilings cause costly structural damage.
Insurance Problems – Many insurance companies refuse coverage or claims for homes with PB piping.
Reduced Home Value – Buyers often back out or demand lower prices once PB plumbing is discovered.
🔍 How to Tell If You Have Polybutylene Pipes
Look for:
Gray or bluish flexible pipes (usually ½” to 1” in diameter).
Pipes stamped with “PB2110.”
Found near your water heater, under sinks, or where the water line enters the home.
If you’re unsure, our licensed plumbers can inspect your system and confirm it in minutes.
