Polybutylene Tips for Woodhaven

Many Woodhaven homes from the 1970s and 80s were plumbed with gray polybutylene pipe, which turns brittle and can fail without warning — so if you have it, plan a repipe before it lets go rather than after it floods a room. The original water heaters in this housing are also well past their prime and worth replacing proactively. If you're not sure what your supply lines are, we can identify them quickly; catching polybutylene early turns a potential flood into a scheduled, manageable job.
