How this works
Polybutylene was a flexible gray plastic supply pipe used across the Southeast from about 1978 to 1995, including many of the subdivisions around Stone Mountain, Redan and Smoke Rise. Chlorine in treated water breaks down the pipe and its fittings from the inside, and failures tend to come without warning. The check adds up build year, pipe color, fitting type, leak history and whether the house has been repiped.
It is a rough screening score, not an inspection. If a leak has already happened, the polybutylene pipe leak cleanup page explains how the water damage is dried out, and burst pipe cleanup covers other supply line failures.
