Many homes throughout the Orlando Florida metro area were built during a time when polybutylene plumbing was widely used. If your home was constructed between the late 1970s and the mid 1990s, there is a strong chance that polybutylene pipes were installed behind the walls, under the slab, or underground on your property. While these pipes were once considered a cost effective solution, they are now known to be unreliable and prone to failure.

How do I know if my home has polybutylene pipes?
Polybutylene pipes are typically gray, blue, or black and are often stamped with the letters PB. They are commonly found near the water heater or where the main water line enters the home. A professional plumbing inspection is the best way to confirm.
Is polybutylene pipe replacement required by insurance companies in Florida?
Many insurance companies in Florida now require polybutylene pipes to be replaced before issuing or renewing a policy. Requirements vary by carrier, but the trend toward mandatory replacement continues to grow.
Do polybutylene pipes always fail?
Not every polybutylene pipe fails immediately, but the material is known to degrade over time. Failures can occur suddenly and without visible warning, which is why replacement is strongly recommended.

Yes. Rainaldi Home Services has the experience and equipment to replace polybutylene pipes located under concrete slabs, inside walls, and underground using proven repiping methods.
