I own a small apartment about 700 square feet, with a small kitchen and tiny single bath. It recently had a plumbing leak in the bathroom that required me to file with my insurance company.
The pipes are polybutylene as it was built in 1986. I would like to consider replacing the pipes, but I don't have the money right now and don't want to be disingenuous and waste a plumber's time to get an estimate, knowing I won't have the money for a while.
Any sense as to what it would cost to replace all the plumbing in a home that size? I'm looking for a budget to aim for, hopefully as specific as possible as money is tight. The place is in Laurel, Maryland, which is DC suburbs.
All I've read, it's another ticking time bomb waiting to happen, although I wish I didn't have to replace them.
