We are simply the best option for turn-key replacement of gray polybutylene, failing pex, and corroded copper. Choosing us will bring you a thorough, satisfying result that even includes absolutely beautiful sheetrock repair and ceiling texture.
POLY
Why it failed
Degradation due to contact with locally treated water
The polybutylene became brittle and eventually developed
tiny fissures. These fissures connected together and
eventually formed small cracks where the water slowly escaped.
- Developed in Europe which doesn’t use chlorine to
treat water the way the U.S. does - HUGE Class Action suit won against the manufacturer
No longer installed anywhere since 1995 - Still some out there depending on local water
treatment methods
COPPER
Why it fails
Degradation due to contact with locally treated water
Oxidation inside the pipes caused a natural patina process.
Chorine strips away patina and causes pinhole leaks.
By the time you have your first leak, your system is shot.
- Pinhole leaks are systematic
- Pinhole leaks often go long undetected
- Openings becomes larger
- Output volume of water increases until initially detected
- Repair is futile.
- Repiping is the only solution
- Copper remains widely-used for good reason, but fails depending on local water
treatment methods
PEX
Why it fails
Degradation due to contact with locally treated water
PEX is part of the same polymer family as Polybutylene,
and their track records are shockingly similar. PEX has an
unproven track record, with several major PEX manufacturers
having changed the materials and design of their systems
multiple times after several high-profile fitting failures.
Every major PEX manufacturer excludes failures caused by
water chemistry from their warranty. Amusingly as well, the
intended installation benefit (its flexibility) became its own
enemy since it fails even more often when bent inside interior walls.
- Developed in Europe which doesn’t use chlorine to
treat water the way the U.S. does - Many previous class-action lawsuits allege PEX system
failures due to exposure to normal drinking water —
12 more are currently underway - Although different PEX production methods
(A, B, C) vary widely in chlorine resistance, it is
difficult to figure out which, if any, PEX product is reliable - No PEX is recommended for use where chlorine levels are
greater than 5 parts per million (a miniscule amount
that is LESS than what is actually USED) - The use of PEX piping can be detrimental to household water quality
PEX piping is known to leach regulated gasoline components
such as MTBE, ETBE, TBA and Toluene into drinking water. - PEX piping is permeable, meaning that outside chemicals
can enter through the pipe wall and contaminate the water
without causing a pipe failure
