Here’s why homeowners are choosing to replace Poly-B with modern PEX piping:
If your home was built or renovated between the late 1970s and the mid-1990s, there’s a good chance it has polybutylene (Poly-B) plumbing.
At PolyBExperts, we know that while this once-popular material was a budget-friendly choice, it’s also notorious for leaks, insurance concerns, and even resale challenges.
Here’s why homeowners are choosing to replace Poly-B with modern PEX piping:
- Insurance and Code Compliance: Many insurance providers will either refuse coverage or significantly increase premiums for homes with Poly-B. Plus, Poly-B doesn’t meet today’s plumbing codes, making it a liability in the long run.
- Leaks and Water Damage: Poly-B pipes become brittle over time, especially at fittings and in hot water applications. Tiny cracks can lead to sudden, damaging leaks—often behind walls where you can’t see them.
- Property Value: When it comes time to sell your home, Poly-B can be a major sticking point. Buyers know the risks, and many won’t move forward until the pipes are replaced.
At PolyBExperts, we make the replacement process simple and stress-free. From start to finish, we handle everything:
✔️ Dust-free, careful removal of old piping
