I am thinking about replacing the Polybutylene Piping in my unit.  Has anyone done this already?

 

If you have done this, do you have any recomendations on a good contractor to use?

Hello B Henry.  I just noticed your post.  You probably have replaced your pipes by now(?)  I had PBT grey pipes replaced with PEX in 2014 by Cardom Plumbing and Heating 303.421.5525.  The cost in 2014 was $3038 (probably more now).  They did a great job and were very professional.  Haven't had any problems since (knock-knock).  They also had to cut several holes in the walls which I had to hire someone else to patch.

 

Over the course of several years (before replacing) I repaired sections of pipe where hairline leaks had developed;  it started above the water heater and gradually propagated into the kitchen ceiling.  The last water leak in the kitchen ceiling made quite a mess.

 

Hope this helps.
