: my mom is looking at a condo in williamsburg, va. This is new construction. I peeked in one of the roughed out buildings and noticed that all of the plumbing in flexible plastic. What is this stuff. how does it hold up? how long has it been in use? wht are its advantages and disadvantages compared to copper?right now there are hundreds of plastics on the market, none in my opinion have the proven track record of copper. maybe she ought to read carefully the fine print in contract about water damage.
