Plastic Pipes: Concern for Buyers?

Plastic Pipes: Concern for Buyers?

 

Polybutylene plastic pipe was commonly installed in mobile homes and low-budget housing, mainly during the 1970s and 1980s, and is prone to leakage.   This can occur as slow seepage at loose fittings or as a major outpouring from broken lines.  A water pipe may simply rupture, causing a torrent to spew wildly within a wall or inside the attic.  Surprise leaks can happen at any time, or not at all.

 

Rarely do sellers repipe a home simply for the sake of marketing.  If you choose to repipe, that's OK, but keep in mind that many buyers are willing to assume risks that are fully disclosed.  Some might insist on a repipe or ask for a price reduction on the property.  A few might withdraw their purchase offer entirely.  On the other hand, you might find a buyer who was planning to remodel the home anyway.  There is no single decision that fits all situations. 

 

If you're selling a home with polybutylene piping, repipe if you prefer, but if not, fully inform buyers of the inherent risks of polybutylene pipe.

 

If you're buying a home, a home inspection should note whether the home you're considering includes polybutylene pipes.
