Polybutylene Pipe Replacement in Lena, IL

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 Lena, IL 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 Lena, IL.

Talk to a person
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.
Do I need a permit for water line replacement?
Most cities require a plumbing permit for service line replacement and whole house repiping, plus an inspection before the trench is backfilled or walls are closed.
What causes pinhole leaks in copper pipe?
Pinholes usually come from pitting corrosion caused by water chemistry, such as low pH or high chlorine or chloramine, or by high flow speed in small pipe. Repeat pinholes mean the whole run is thinning.
Can slab leaks be fixed without breaking the floor?
Often the lines under the slab are abandoned and new PEX is rerouted through the attic or walls. That leaves the concrete and flooring alone.
How do I get a water line replacement quote in Lena, IL?
Call (866) 335-0301 and describe the pipe material, the length of the run and what you are seeing. A plumber can then look at the site and price the work.
