I have the dreaded Grey Pipes (Polybutylene Pipes)

[Shar Day]

I am new to the grey pipe issue, and have no choice but to totally replace my pipes. I have had 5 leaks in the last 2 years, of which 3 of them came in the last 3 months.

I would say luckily for me my tenant lease runs out at the end of January. I had no choice but to tell them I can not renew their lease, because I need to change the pipes in the house.

Now here is where I would like the help of BP, in recommending a plumber that can give me a quote. I am in Maryland (PG County), I am looking to hit the ground running as soon as they move out (before the end of Feb).

Have you had any experience with grey pipes, and what did you swap them out with? I am hearing PEX (pex-a - preferred compared to pex-b or pex-c).
