The perils of polybutylene!  American Plumbing, LMP #556

A close-up of a leaking, outdated polybutylene water pipe, labeled with commentary about unlicensed installation and the pipe's ban.

Polybutylene tubing was banned in America over 20 years ago.  Making the materials unavailable.  When we have a customer that has a leaking polybutylene water line in the slab our only solution is to terminate and reroute every polybutylene water line in the home.

Call American Plumbing for all of your plumbing repair needs.
