Poly B Pipe Replacement in Charlotte

Poly B piping, also known as polybutylene piping, is a type of plastic plumbing that was used heavily in residential construction projects between 1985 and 1997. Poly B pipes were popular at the time due to their cost and ease of installation, however, they are notorious for their high failure rates caused by degradation from chemicals like chlorine in the water supply. This degradation leads to frequent leaks and potential flooding, resulting in expensive water damage and mold problems within homes. Homeowners are strongly advised to have a licensed plumber assess their piping to determine if Poly B piping has been used and have them replaced if needed. Replacing Poly B pipes helps to ensure compliance with current plumbing codes and to secure home insurance coverage, as many insurers refuse to cover homes with existing Poly B pipes. Professional replacement not only protects your property from future damage but also enhances its market value and safety.

If you have a home in the Charlotte area that was built between the late 1970’s to mid 1990’s, there’s a good possibility that Poly B piping was used.

4. Check the size. Poly B pipes will be between 1/2″ and 1″ in diameter.
