A flood waiting to happen
Polybutylene reacts with the chlorine in normal tap water and grows brittle from the inside, then splits when you least expect it. There is no safe way to keep it. We identify it, confirm it, and replace the whole system with reliable PEX or copper so you can stop waiting for the leak.

Polybutylene questions
How do I know if I have polybutylene?
It is usually gray (sometimes blue or black) flexible plastic pipe, often marked PB2110. We can confirm it for you on a free estimate.
Do I really need to replace all of it?
Yes. The failures are random across the whole system, so a full repipe is the only real fix.
