Detecting Polybutylene Leaks in Conway

Even small, hidden leaks from polybutylene pipes can cause significant damage to your Conway home's foundation or interior. Our technicians use advanced leak detection equipment, including acoustic sensors and thermal imaging, to pinpoint the exact location of leaks without destructive guesswork. We can identify leaks in walls, under slabs, and behind appliances, providing an honest assessment before any replacement work begins. Early detection is key to preventing widespread water damage and costly repairs in Arkansas homes.

Whole-Home PEX Replacement in Conway, AR

PEX-A is the most common replacement for polybutylene because it is flexible, scale resistant and easy to route. We use Uponor PEX-A with expansion fittings that do not restrict flow. New lines run from the main shutoff to every fixture, water heater and appliance. Most homes are completed in two to four working days.

Manufactured Home Poly Replacement in Conway, AR

Manufactured homes from the poly era often have polybutylene lines in the floor or belly. We replace these lines with PEX sized for manufactured homes and secure them properly underneath. We also check heat tape and insulation on exposed lines where winter freezes occur. Before a deep freeze, disconnect hoses, drip a faucet on outside walls, and know where your main shutoff is located. The result is a reliable, modern supply system.

Polybutylene Identification and Inspection in Conway

Polybutylene is usually gray, though it can be white, blue or black, and is often stamped PB2110. You may see it at the water heater, under sinks or near the main shutoff. We inspect visible lines, check the stamps and trace runs through the attic. You get a clear answer and a written estimate for replacement.

Full Home Repiping with PEX in Conway

When a home with polybutylene pipes sits on a slab foundation, repiping becomes a more complex process. Our team specializes in full home repiping using PEX (cross-linked polyethylene), a flexible, durable, and corrosion-resistant material. PEX is an excellent choice for Arkansas homes, as it resists freezing better than rigid pipes and expands to accommodate temperature changes. We carefully plan the repipe to limit disruption, often running new lines through attics or existing wall cavities, delivering a complete and long-lasting upgrade for your entire plumbing system.

Polybutylene Replacement Costs in Conway, AR

Replacing polybutylene with PEX in an average home often costs $5,000 to $12,000, depending on size and bathrooms. Copper systems usually cost more. Adding a yard service line replacement often adds $1,500 to $4,000. Compared to repairing water damage from a burst, a planned replacement is usually the better investment.

Yard Service Line Replacement in Conway, AR

Many poly-era homes also have blue or black polybutylene service lines running from the water meter to the house. These buried lines can split and leak under your yard, raising your bill and soaking the soil. We call 811 to mark utilities, trench the route and install new PEX or copper service pipe. The new line connects to a new main shutoff at the house.
