Polybutylene and Granbury's housing
The 1980–1999 share here is 36%, above the Texas figure of 29%. That ranks 20th highest of the 90 Texas cities we profile. Not every home from those years has polybutylene, but enough do that buyers, inspectors and insurers in Granbury 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 Weatherford, Burleson, Cleburne raise the same question.
In Texas: Hard water is common across much of the state, which shortens water heater life.
