Mobile Home Repiping
Common Mobile Home Issues
Many mobile, modular, and manufactured homes come with outdated piping systems that are prone to failure, often featuring polybutylene pipes and plastic shut-off valves—both known for causing significant issues.
Polybutylene pipes, which have been discontinued due to their high failure rates, are prone to cracking and leaking, leading to severe water damage and costly repairs. Their plastic resin deteriorates over time, and the associated crimp fittings are prone to splitting, resulting in flooding and property damage.
Insurance Headaches
As these pipes age, the likelihood of leaks increases, often leaving homeowners with extensive water damage and high repair bills that may not be covered by insurance.
Insurance companies are increasingly aware of the risks posed by polybutylene pipes, with many requiring a full repipe of any mobile home still equipped with this material.
Leaving polybutylene pipes unaddressed can lead to higher insurance premiums, as 4-Point Inspections frequently reveal these problematic systems, alerting insurers to the potential hazards.
