What is Polybutylene | Recognizing Polybutylene | |||||||||||||||||
Polybutylene is a plastic like material known as a polymer. This material was widely used for plumbing in millions of homes between 1978 and 1995. Polybutylene was eventually found to be defective. Hundreds of thousands of homes plumbed with polybutylene have experienced leaks and those that haven't will. The ease of installation of Polybutylene Pipe, made this material a great cost savings in construction and therefore was installed in many new homes built between 1978 to 1995. Due to many leaks associated with Polybutylene, a lawsuit was entered into to cover replacement cost. This lawsuit became a class action claim and to this date over 1 billion dollars have been set aside to help defer these costs. Whether you are covered in this lawsuit or not, the threat of polybutylene water leaks are real.
