Polybutylene Pipe Replacement in Shawmut, MT

Polybutylene was installed in millions of homes built from about 1978 to 1995. It is a gray, sometimes blue, flexible plastic pipe, often stamped PB2110. Chlorine in municipal water breaks it down from the inside, and the pipe tends to fail at fittings with little warning.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Shawmut, MT homeowners with plumbers who remove polybutylene and replace it. Inside the house that usually means a whole house repiping in PEX. Outside, a blue PB service line from the meter is replaced with copper or HDPE.

Look for the pipe at the water heater, under sinks and where the main enters the house. Plastic acetal fittings and aluminum crimp rings are the older style and the most failure prone. Copper crimp rings were used later but do not fix the pipe itself.

Many insurers and home buyers now ask about polybutylene by name. Call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301 to plan your polybutylene pipe replacement.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Questions we hear most often about Polybutylene Pipe Replacement in Shawmut, MT.

Talk to a person
Is PEX or copper better for repiping?
PEX costs less, needs fewer wall openings and does not corrode. Copper handles heat well and lasts in friendly water but can pit in aggressive water. Many homes with past pinhole leaks choose PEX.
Can a water line be replaced without digging up my yard?
Often, yes. Trenchless pipe bursting uses two small pits, one near the meter and one near the house, and pulls new HDPE through the old path. It works best on fairly straight runs.
How deep is a water service line buried?
It has to sit below the local frost line. That can be 12 inches in warm southern areas and 5 feet or more in the northern states. Your local code sets the exact depth.
Do I need a permit for water line replacement?
Most cities require a plumbing permit for service line replacement and whole house repiping, plus an inspection before the trench is backfilled or walls are closed.
Should I replace my main shutoff valve during a repipe?
Yes. An old gate valve often seizes or fails to close fully. A full port quarter turn ball valve is a small addition to a repipe or water line replacement job.
