Polybutylene Pipe Replacement in Ragsdale, IN

Polybutylene was installed in millions of homes built from about 1978 to 1995. It is a gray, sometimes blue, flexible plastic pipe, often stamped PB2110. Chlorine in municipal water breaks it down from the inside, and the pipe tends to fail at fittings with little warning.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Ragsdale, IN homeowners with plumbers who remove polybutylene and replace it. Inside the house that usually means a whole house repiping in PEX. Outside, a blue PB service line from the meter is replaced with copper or HDPE.

Look for the pipe at the water heater, under sinks and where the main enters the house. Plastic acetal fittings and aluminum crimp rings are the older style and the most failure prone. Copper crimp rings were used later but do not fix the pipe itself.

Many insurers and home buyers now ask about polybutylene by name. Call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301 to plan your polybutylene pipe replacement.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Questions we hear most often about Polybutylene Pipe Replacement in Ragsdale, IN.

Talk to a person
What is the difference between water line replacement and whole house repiping?
Water line replacement covers the buried service pipe from the meter or curb stop to the house. Whole house repiping replaces the supply lines inside the walls. Older homes often need both because the pipes are the same age.
Is PEX or copper better for repiping?
PEX costs less, needs fewer wall openings and does not corrode. Copper handles heat well and lasts in friendly water but can pit in aggressive water. Many homes with past pinhole leaks choose PEX.
Who owns the water line between the street and my house?
In most areas the utility owns the line up to the meter or curb stop, and the homeowner owns the rest. Rules vary by city, so it is worth asking your water department.
Why is my water pressure low only in some rooms?
When pressure is fine at the hose bib but weak upstairs or at one fixture, rust scale inside galvanized pipe is the usual cause. A gauge test and a check of the pressure reducing valve come first.
Should I replace my main shutoff valve during a repipe?
Yes. An old gate valve often seizes or fails to close fully. A full port quarter turn ball valve is a small addition to a repipe or water line replacement job.
