New construction, 3 years old. First leak happened 11 months ago in the kitchen. You can see in the photos that both sides of the elbow have a hairline break near the fitting. Second leak happened a few days ago very close to the first leak, but in a T.
Some plumbers who came to inspect the issue hypothesized that they were exposed to UV light. However, I recently came across the class action lawsuit against Uponor colored PEX pipes. Do these look like the typical Uponor PEX failures mentioned in the lawsuit? Should we repipe the home?
We are considering filing a claim with Uponor but the website asks to accept a waiver that the pipes may be destroyed during investigation. Not sure if this would be a problem if we have to pursue legal action down the line.
Thanks in advance for your insights!
