Greenlee Plumbing offers turnkey polybutylene replacement and whole-building repipes for apartment complexes, condominiums, and multi-family properties throughout Alabama.

Coastal humidity in the Mobile area and typical chlorinated water across the state accelerate the problem.

Cities and Areas with Known Polybutylene and Copper Issues in Alabama

Many garden-style and low-rise apartment communities from the 1980s and early 1990s used polybutylene. Copper systems of similar age can also develop pinhole leaks. In multi-unit buildings, one failed pipe often causes water damage in more than one unit and leads to repeated emergency repairs.

The Practical Impact on Property Owners

Ongoing leaks increase maintenance costs, tenant turnover, and insurance premiums. Mold and water damage claims become more likely when polybutylene remains in place. A planned repipe allows property managers to control timing, budget, and resident communication instead of reacting to sudden failures.

Why Choose Greenlee for Alabama Multi-Unit Projects

✅ Full-service planning, permits, and resident coordination

✅ Durable PEX or copper replacement systems

✅ Licensed and insured for Alabama work

✅ Focus on reducing insurance risk and long-term repair costs

What to Expect During a Greenlee Repipe

We start with an assessment to map the existing system and identify the best replacement approach. Work is scheduled to limit disruption. New piping is installed, pressure-tested, and the work areas are cleaned. Property staff receive clear communication throughout the project so tenants stay informed.

What is Polybutylene Pipe?

Polybutylene piping is a low-cost piping formed of plastic resin. It is commonly gray, white, or sometimes black in color. Poly piping is employed as a substitute for copper piping in both underground water mains and interior plumbing. Due to the ease of installing poly piping, it was used in the construction of millions of structures throughout the U.S. between 1978 and 1995; however, it has been discovered that as poly pipe ages and reacts with water-soluble oxidants, it begins to degrade and can leak, causing severe damage to the surrounding building structure.

The presence of polybutylene pipe can severely affect a home’s value on the real estate market. Poly pipe generally takes 10-15 years to begin to show signs of severe deterioration; therefore it is important to know what problems can be caused by its presence, and what can be done about it before it does pose a risk.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was second time I have used Greenlee  plumbing this year for another job. The job was a new water main cutoff valve and regulator replacement for a set that was nearly 28 years old and starting to leak. Billy and Levi were excellent once again and got the work done in less than an hour.
I highly recommend them and going to spread the word to neighbors and friends.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could give this business a 10+ rating, I would. It's a pleasure (and rare) to find a company that is capable of working with the customer as Greenlee. From responding to my location, fixing the problem, and generally exceeding my wishes, they are the best. Thanks to the office staff (sorry I forgot her name) and especially to Brian who solved the problem.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gregg and another guy came to my mother's house to determine the cause of a shower leak. They were courteous and knowledgeable. It was possibly due to caulking, drain pan or drain pipe. Once replicated, Gregg suggested it was leaking through the corner caulking and to recaulk the corners as a less expensive option first, and if that didn't work, he would come back to open up the sheetrock in the ceiling below to determine if it was the pan or drain pipe.  He and the other guy were very nice in explaining everything. Hopefully, that will fix it, but if not, I know he'll come back within 30 days from his visit date with no extra charge.
