With many homes vulnerable to catastrophic failure of polybutylene water-supply plumbing, company's free inspections and estimates will help shine light on a widespread issue, AMA Repiping reports

-- For decades, many homes built in the United States were fitted with polybutylene-based plumbing systems. Over time, it became clear that pipes made from polybutylene could fail catastrophically and without warning after exposure to chlorine or chloramine.

As many existing homes still face this danger, AMA Repiping now offers free inspections that can accurately identify the existence of an issue within any home. With free estimates also available, AMA Repiping services allow residents to remain in place throughout a quick, reliable three-to-five-day Polybutylene Repipe process that eliminates the problem for good.

Focusing solely on repiping, AMA Repiping offers a 100-percent satisfaction guarantee and transferable 25-year warranty on every job, leaving behind no visible trace of the work. Available now to homeowners throughout the company's service areas, the AMA Repiping free inspection and estimate offers make for the easiest way to identify and address any Polybutylene Repipe need.

"Even decades after it was last widely installed, polybutylene plumbing still springs unpleasant, expensive surprises on homeowners across the country," said AMA Repiping representative Robert Busonick, "The best way of avoiding this fate is to have an expert determine whether there is any polybutylene plumbing present in a home. With our free inspections and estimates, it has never been easier to make sure that polybutylene pipes do not cause the kinds of problems that so many have suffered through over the years."

Polybutylene is a polymer-based resin that was first commonly turned into plumbing starting in the 1970s. Widely heralded at first as the "pipe of the future," polybutylene seemed to offer many benefits compared to traditional plumbing options, including greater cost-effectiveness and ease of installation.

As the years went by, however, an increasing number of homes and business facilities equipped with polybutylene plumbing suffered catastrophic and initially mysterious failures. A class action lawsuit settled in 1995 for around $1 billion, Cox v. Shell Oil, put a spotlight on the issue and motivated the removal of polybutylene plumbing from building codes nationwide. By that time, however, polybutylene pipes had been installed in up to six million homes, with many systems remaining in place to this day.

AMA Repiping is one of the country's leading specialists at identifying and replacing polybutylene piping in homes and business facilities. Employing a unique process that typically requires only a very brief interruption to water supplies, the company makes use of the most thorough quality assurance system in the industry. With no need to vacate a home, the entire repiping process can be completed in a few days and is covered by a 25-year transferable warranty.

The AMA Repiping free inspection and estimate offers therefore stand as especially valuable options for anyone concerned about polybutylene plumbing. "We're proud to be able to offer these free services and hope that many homeowners will make use of them," Busonick concluded, "Reviews from our repipe customers show what a difference we can make and how easy we are to work with."
