Polybutylene and Saint Peters's housing
The 1980–1999 share here is 46%, above the Missouri figure of 25%. That ranks 1st highest of the 16 Missouri cities we profile. Not every home from those years has polybutylene, but enough do that buyers, inspectors and insurers in Saint Peters 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 Saint Charles, O Fallon, Ballwin raise the same question.
In Missouri: Winter cold snaps freeze exposed pipes, and basements make sump pumps common.
