Polybutylene and Port Saint Lucie's housing
The 1980–1999 share here is 37%, above the Florida figure of 35%. That ranks 54th highest of the 111 Florida cities we profile. Not every home from those years has polybutylene, but enough do that buyers, inspectors and insurers in Port Saint Lucie 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 Vero Beach, Fort Pierce, Jupiter raise the same question.
In Florida: Slab-on-grade construction, high water tables and hurricane flooding shape plumbing work, from slab leaks to sewer backups.
