FAQ

Insurance Claim Assistance — Common Questions

What is Poly B pipe and why does it need to be replaced?
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.
How do I know if my home has Poly B pipe?
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.
How long does a full Poly B replacement take?
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.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover Poly B replacement?
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.
What do you replace Poly B with?
We replace Poly B with PEX-A (cross-linked polyethylene), the current standard for residential repiping. PEX is flexible, freeze-resistant, and rated for 50+ years of service. We can also use copper if you prefer — just ask.
Do you pull the required plumbing permits?
Yes. All repipe work in Surrey requires a plumbing permit from the City of Surrey. We handle the permit application and schedule the required inspection so you have a clean, documented record for resale or insurance.
