Polybutylene and Riverdale's housing
The 1980–1999 share here is 36%, close to the Georgia figure of 35%. That ranks 16th lowest of the 32 Georgia cities we profile. Not every home from those years has polybutylene, but enough do that buyers, inspectors and insurers in Riverdale 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 Ellenwood raise the same question.
In Georgia: Red clay soil shifts with wet and dry seasons, which stresses sewer laterals and water lines; root intrusion in older clay sewers is common.
Permits
Full replacement is a repipe and normally needs a permit.
