Poly B Pipe Replacement in Whalley, BC

Yes. We work with strata councils and individual unit owners in Whalley's older buildings.

Polybutylene (Poly B) is a grey plastic pipe installed in BC homes between the late 1970s and mid-1990s. It reacts with chlorine in municipal water, causing the pipe walls to flake and crack from the inside. Leaks often start without warning — sometimes behind walls or under floors — and can cause significant water damage. Most insurers now flag it as a liability.

Poly B is grey, flexible plastic pipe usually found at the water meter, under sinks, in utility rooms, and in crawl spaces. It's often stamped 'PB2110' along its length. If your home was built between 1978 and 1995 in the Lower Mainland, there's a good chance it has Poly B. We can inspect and confirm.

A typical Surrey home takes one to two days for a full repipe, depending on size and layout. Larger homes or those with complex plumbing may take a day longer. We aim to have your water restored by end of day.

Most standard home insurance policies do not cover elective replacement — they cover damage caused by a sudden leak. Some insurers in BC are now refusing new policies or raising premiums on homes with Poly B. We can provide a written assessment report to support your claim or policy review.
