The first step is to call us and discuss your project. We will answer a lot of your poly plumbing questions over the phone. We get an idea of your time frame, any special needs, and then we set up a free in-home inspection. Our meeting helps us to be prepared for any special plumbing or wall finishing challenges and we let you know how to be best prepared at the start of the pipe replacement.
Polybutylene Replacement
We arrive at your home at about 8AM to start preparing for plumbing. We install plastic dust barriers, move furniture as needed, and install protective coverings. Our next step is making precise drywall cuts and then we install the new plumbing system.

When Gray Polybutylene Fails
The Gray Poly in your home will fail. You may not have experienced a leak problem yet but it is just a matter of time. Gray poly in the walls reacts with chlorine over a long period of time. It becomes brittle and will start to leak. Not a matter of “if” but a matter of “when”.

Service couldn’t be completed due to needing a new system. We appreciate the very informative visit as well as insight that could help after a new unit install.
Plumbing Express was great. I had a failed sump pump that had partially overflowed into the basement. Nasty. Josh was the tech that did the work. He was efficient, neat and courteous. I will use Plumbing Express if I have any other plumbing needs and I will recommend them to my family and friends.
The technician was very knowledgeable and professional. I believe they did a very good job.
Ron was our second plumber from this company. The first plumber came, examined pipes and said he found no leak, even though we had experiences a large amount of water leaking from the ceiling in the finished basement. Several days later we had another leak-same area but less water the second time. Ron came in, listened to our frustration and did a more thorough inspection of the pipes and identified the problem. He was very personable and professional. On his third visit, we had several replacement pipes installed and are without leaks again. Our frustration, with the situation, was my son had used your company to replace pipes when he purchased the home and founding out not all the pipes were included with that process.
Tim arrived on time and was very professional. He took his time to explain the problem and the process it would take fix the water line.
Called Plumbing Express as tankless hot water not operating. Their website states "Get Free Plumbing Quote ". When service man showed up an looked at unit he said there would be a $207 charge to look into unit in order to give me a quote to fix unit. Due to not having hot water and time required to get another company to address the problem I agreed to pay $207 for quote. After looking in unit I was told he would not be able to fix due to age of unit and parts not available. I think he should have said parts not available when seeing model number on front of unit and I would not have wasted $207.
Outstanding customer service, we will definitely be using them in the future for any plumbing needs. Can’t thank them enough!
Extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. The team was excellent. The job was completed in 1 day with a great team. Very expressive.
Daniel Perez was great in coming out to check the problem I had with a water leak from my air conditioner line. His recommendation was correct.
Great and informative service while I was in a bind without a functioning water heater.
Plumbing Express is my go-to plumbing support team. They have fair pricing, well-vetted technicians, and a truly exceptional scheduling system. Rod, my technician, was the best. He quickly assessed the problem and gave a fair estimate, working hard to keep to the schedule. He even brought Josh along on the day of service, and the two of them worked well together. They addressed the bathtub drain repair with expertise and caused the least sheetrock damage. It was difficult to replace the broken pipe and get to the upstairs drain, but together they made it a success.
Daniel did a great job and was very professional during his service call last week!
Rod and Josh did an awesome job taking care of my clogged sinks. Knowledgable, professional and great to work with - I really appreciated their help today and would highly recommend them and Plumbing Express!
Daniel was excellent. The work he did was simply superb. I highly recommend your company and hopefully Daniel will get more and more work
Dylan from Plumbing Express came over and replaced our garbage disposal for us. It was older, had a massive leak, and needed to be replaced. He did a great job and was in and out in about 30 minutes! I also asked him to check out a potential leak I had been hearing in my ceiling. He used a thermal camera to investigate and was very honest and upfront about what he found. Rather than immediately cutting into the drywall to confirm something uncertain, he explained that the sound could simply be pipes expanding and that opening the wall might be unnecessary. He recommended monitoring the area and waiting to see if a wet spot appears, which would clearly indicate an actual leak. I really appreciated that he didn’t try to upsell or push unnecessary work. Overall, great service and a great guy. They will definitely be our go-to plumbing service from now on.
Once again we had some problems under our kitchen sink so we called Plumbing Express who were able to get us on their schedule pretty quickly after these storms Tim Robinson came out to do the job. Tim has been to our house for a number of different plumbing problems. He is personable & professional. As usual he did a great job even though this particular problem turned out to be far more difficult than anyone had expected. As frustrating as it was, Tim worked through it until he finished the job. We can't thank him enough.
Anthony was very competent, professional and friendly. He answered all my questions throughly. Highly recommend!
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to replace my polybutylene pipes?
Polybutylene (PB) pipe was never suited for U.S. municipal water supplies. Chlorine in treated water degrades the plastic from the inside out, forming tiny fissures that eventually crack and leak. The Gray poly in your walls will fail. It is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when. Any home built between 1980 and 1998 in Metro Atlanta should be inspected for PB piping. Polybutylene pipe replacement in Metro Atlanta, GA is all we do, and we have handled thousands of these jobs across Cobb, Fulton, Gwinnett, and Cherokee Counties.
What pipe material does Plumbing Express use for replacement?
We install PEX-A piping on every repipe. PEX-A is flexible, corrosion-resistant, and handles Georgia’s chlorinated municipal water far better than polybutylene. It carries a 30-year material warranty and performs reliably in the Atlanta metro’s wide temperature range.
How long does a whole-house polybutylene repipe take?
Most jobs are complete in 2 to 3 days. Our dedicated repipe crews arrive at 8 AM, protect your floors and furniture, make precise drywall cuts, install the new PEX system, and handle sheetrock repair with ceiling texture match before leaving. You get a fully restored home, not just replaced pipes.
How much does polybutylene pipe replacement cost in Atlanta?
Cost depends on your home’s square footage, the number of fixtures, and pipe accessibility behind finished walls. Because no two homes are the same, we do not publish flat rates. We offer a free in-home inspection and a clear, itemized quote with no hidden fees. Call us at (678) 439-9540 or fill out our repipe quote form to get started.
What warranty comes with a Plumbing Express repipe?
Our repiping service includes a 30-year warranty on materials. The warranty transfers to the next homeowner, which adds direct, documented value to your property at closing. Our work is performed by licensed, insured W-2 employees, not subcontractors.
