Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is currently investigating premature failures in Uponor PEX plumbing systems, which have been installed in residential homes across the United States. Marketed as a durable, corrosion-resistant piping solution, they are now facing widespread complaints of oxidation, pipe degradation, and hidden water leaks.
Alleged Misrepresentation of Durability and Performance
Uponor PEX pipes were promoted as long-lasting and maintenance-free, with an expected lifespan of several decades. However, reports indicate that certain water chemistry or environmental conditions may cause the material to oxidize and weaken much earlier than expected, potentially leading to:
-
Pin-hole leaks behind walls or ceilings
-
Extensive water damage to flooring, drywall, and foundations
-
Mold growth and indoor air quality issues
-
Health hazards due to prolonged moisture exposure
Reported Failures and Costly Consequences
Homeowners affected by Uponor PEX failures have described:
-
Flooded basements and major interior water damage
-
Insurance claim denials, often citing a “manufacturer defect”
-
Full-home pipe replacement costs, sometimes totaling tens of thousands of dollars
-
Ongoing risk of future leaks in unremediated systems
