The best way to deal with leaking plastic water pipes.

When it comes to polybutylene, determining the best way to deal with leaking plastic water pipes is not always easy. Temporary repairs are possible in most cases.

However, if a leak occurs in the pipe rather than in a fitting or joint, it is best to consider replacing the length of the pipe or the entire piping system. This is because it is likely that the same section of pipe or batch of pipes will develop more leaks in the future.
