Polybutylene and West Chester's housing
The 1980–1999 share here is 45%, above the Ohio figure of 21%. That ranks 3rd highest of the 49 Ohio cities we profile. Not every home from those years has polybutylene, but enough do that buyers, inspectors and insurers in West Chester 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 Hamilton, Middletown, Mason raise the same question.
In Ohio: Basements and heavy spring rain make sump pumps and backwater valves standard, and winters freeze exposed pipes.
Permits
