Oh and one more tidbit, PEX freezes! My lovely builders didn't insulate the bump out which holds my kitchen. Year 1 in my brand new home, I had to forgo using water in my kitchen for 4 days because the APEX froze.

I live 50 feet from an active firehouse. I live in a townhouse that required sprinkler systems. I have had TWO orange PVC pipes break 15 hours apart (this occurred last week, my home is just over 5 years old). My kitchen and basement have been destroyed. "Pinhole" leaks HAHAHA. You want to pay for the damage?! Now this is the second and third claim to my insurance company, the first, my pathetic and 'wanted' builders saved some money and didn't put wax rings down for the toilets so I had to replace hard wood flooring, drywall, baseboards, paint, entire ceilings and oh yes, add a three dollar wax ring to the mix. But back to my sprinkler system - I was told 'sometimes, they just fail'. That is the reason I got, thanks for that memory. Now I am trying to do a search on recalled plastic or lot numbers for the orange piping. Any suggestions?
