Unfortunately for you, the terms were established by the class action. After 1997, systems are covered for 12 years after construction for the internal piping, and 10 years for the exterior. You only have two options. 1. repipe the house after contacting your insurance agent to see if any of the cost is covered by your homeowners policy, or: 2. Repair leaks as they occur.: My house was built in 1981. I have owned it since 1991. I called a plumber yesterday when I discovered water leaking. He said I had polybutylene pipes and they should have been replaced years ago. I never heard of this before. I called a recovery number and was told that I should have filed a claim before 1997. How could I do this when I never heard anything about it. Have you heard of people in my situation and do you have any advice?
