Polybutylene and New Baltimore's housing
The 1980–1999 share here is 39%, above the Michigan figure of 22%. That ranks 4th highest of the 46 Michigan cities we profile. Not every home from those years has polybutylene, but enough do that buyers, inspectors and insurers in New Baltimore ask about it.
Look for gray (sometimes blue or black) flexible pipe stamped PB2110 at the water heater, under sinks or at the main shutoff. Homes of the same era in nearby Utica, Roseville raise the same question.
In Michigan: Long, cold winters make frozen pipes and burst lines a common emergency.
