Whole-House Repiping
A repipe replaces every water supply line in the house, usually with PEX or copper run through the walls, attic or basement ceiling. It's the permanent fix for failing galvanized pipe, polybutylene, and copper with repeated pinhole or slab leaks.
Polybutylene Pipe Replacement
Polybutylene is a gray, blue or black plastic supply pipe installed in many homes from roughly 1978 to 1995. It can fail without warning, especially at fittings. Replacing it means a repipe, usually in PEX, and many insurers and buyers ask for it.

Repiping FAQ
PEX or copper?
PEX is the most common choice today because it costs less, has fewer joints and tolerates freezing better. Copper is still a good option where codes or buyers prefer it.
PEX or copper for a repipe?
PEX is the most common choice today: it costs less, has fewer joints, resists scale and tolerates freezing better than rigid pipe. Copper is still a good option and some local codes or buyers prefer it.
Is polybutylene illegal?
It isn't illegal to have it, but it's no longer accepted for new installs under current US plumbing codes, and some insurers limit coverage for homes that still have it.
