Polybutylene and Fishers's housing
The 1980–1999 share here is 41%, above the Indiana figure of 24%. That ranks 1st highest of the 32 Indiana cities we profile. Not every home from those years has polybutylene, but enough do that buyers, inspectors and insurers in Fishers 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 Carmel, Noblesville, Westfield raise the same question.
In Indiana: Basements and wet springs make sump pumps and backup protection essential in many neighborhoods.
