Polybutylene and Myrtle Beach's housing
The 1980–1999 share here is 39%, above the South Carolina figure of 32%. That ranks 1st highest of the 11 South Carolina cities we profile. Not every home from those years has polybutylene, but enough do that buyers, inspectors and insurers in Myrtle Beach 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 Conway raise the same question.
In South Carolina: Hard freezes are occasional, and crawl-space pipes are the most exposed.
