The Danger of Polybutylene Pipes
The 1980s & 90s Ticking Time Bomb
If your Denver Metro home was built between the late 1970s and the mid-1990s, there is a high probability it is plumbed with Polybutylene (often recognizable as flexible gray plastic piping).
Over time, public water treatment chemicals (like chlorine) attack the internal structure of these plastic pipes. They become incredibly brittle from the inside out. Because they degrade internally, they give zero warning before they burst.
A ruptured Polybutylene line can flood a home in minutes, causing tens of thousands of dollars in water damage and mold remediation. A whole-home repipe is the only way to permanently remove this risk from your property.
