Who can tell me what to report if a home has Polybutelene water lines?
Is it best to identify it as PB but say nothing more.
I know there is a large class action lawsuit about PB.
Also my whole house has it. I built in 87 and was told it was the best! Will it affect my ability to sell my house?
Inform them that it is PB, and recommend they get estimates from plumbing contractors for a repipe.
Two types of PB - that which is leaking, and that which will leak. . .
Tell your client to make sure all bids specify whether or not the job is “turnkey”. Any good re-pipe will include sheetrock repairs and matching paint.
A recent client got a firm quote for $6100, for turnkey job including service line to street on a 3000sf 2-story with crawlspace. Not sure what the service pipe will be but the interior was quoted using CPVC.
