Polybutylene pipes. Like polyester suits, 8-track tapes, and bell bottoms, they’re a byproduct of the 1970’s. But unlike polyester suits, which you probably donated to charity years ago, polybutylene pipes are still around. And they have the potential to cause serious damage to your home. The chlorine in the water supply can react with the polybutylene, causing it to break down, leading to microfractures, which can result in total system failure.
But how do you know if your home has polybutylene pipes? They were essentially the pipe of choice for home construction between the late 1970’s and the mid-1990’s, due to their ease of installation and low cost versus copper pipes. If your home falls in this time window, chances are you have them.
