Poly Pipes

When polybutylene pipes (polypipe) start leaking in your home or commercial property, most professional plumbers including South Florida Plumbing and Backflow recommend replacing the entire piping system rather than repairing it.

Here's why

1. Repair Challenges

Temporary Fixes: While leaks can sometimes be patched, repairs are often temporary because polybutylene piping is prone to cracking and breaking due to age and chemical interactions with water.
Weak Joints: Even if one section is repaired, other areas are likely to fail soon, making it a recurring issue.

2. Replacement Recommendation

Long-Term Solution: Replacing the polypipe with modern, durable materials like PEX, CPVC, or copper ensures the plumbing system is reliable for decades.
Building Codes: Polybutylene pipes are no longer up to code in many areas due to their history of failures.
Insurance Concerns: Many homeowners' insurance policies may not cover damage caused by polybutylene pipe leaks, and some may refuse to insure properties with this piping.

3. Cost Considerations

While replacing an entire system is more expensive upfront, it saves money in the long run by avoiding repeated repairs and potential water damage.

Why Hire an Expert?

We understand that replacing pipes can be a big project, but it’s important to address this issue as soon as possible to avoid more significant problems in the future.

Polybutylene pipes typically last around 10-15 years before they begin to deteriorate. It’s essential to replace them before they start leaking or rupturing, which can cause extensive water damage and mold growth. Mold is a significant risk associated with leaking pipes, and it can cause respiratory problems and other health issues if left untreated.

The Benefits of Polypipe Replacement

Polybutylene pipes were widely used in the United States from the 1970s through the mid-1990s, and many homes still have them. Unfortunately, poly pipes are prone to rupturing and leaking, and it can be difficult to detect these issues until it’s too late. If your home has poly pipes, it’s essential to know what to look for in the event your poly pipes are failing.
