Re: Question
There was an ad in the local paper recently by some lawyer or firm telling homeowners to contact them if they have PB pipe in their homes. I always point out the presence of the stuff and recommend evaluation/consultation with a qualified plumber.
See http://www.polybutylene.com/ An interesting quote from the above link: "FACT: A copper repipe is about the same cost as a recarpet." "An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field" Niels Bohr "Learn all you can from the mistakes of others. You won't have time to make them all yourself" Alfred Sheinwold Eureka, Fortuna & Arcata, CA
