Eliminate Risky Polybutylene Plumbing Before It Fails

At Stefano’s Plumbing & Drain Cleaning, we’re Poly-B replacement specialists serving Surrey, Vancouver, and the Lower Mainland. Polybutylene (Poly-B) piping, installed widely between 1978 and 1997, is now considered a high-risk plumbing material due to its tendency to crack, rupture, and leak over time. Our Red Seal-certified plumbers replace Poly-B systems with safe, modern materials that meet current BC plumbing codes — protecting your home from future water damage and improving resale value.

Complete Poly B Pipe Repiping Services – Done Right From Start to Finish

Code-Compliant, Leak-Free & Long-Lasting Plumbing Upgrades

We provide full-service Poly-B replacement for homes, condos, townhomes, and multi-unit buildings. Our process includes:

Full inspection to locate Poly-B piping in walls, ceilings & floors
Water shut-off coordination with the city or strata
Removal of all grey Poly-B piping
Replacing with PEX-A, PEX-B, or Type L copper depending on your needs
Leak testing and water pressure balancing
Drywall cutouts patched and ready for paint (optional)
Permit handling and documentation for insurance or resale
Restoration referrals if drywall/finishing is extensive

Our Poly B replacement projects are completed cleanly, efficiently, and with clear communication every step of the way.

What Is Poly B and Why Should It Be Replaced?

Understanding the Risks of Polybutylene Piping

Polybutylene (PB or Poly-B) is a flexible plastic pipe once seen as a cheaper alternative to copper. Unfortunately, it:

Becomes brittle with age
Reacts with chlorine in treated water
Often fails at fittings and elbows
Is no longer accepted by plumbing codes in BC
May void home insurance coverage
Lowers the resale value of your property

Even if you haven’t had a leak yet, your Poly-B system is a ticking time bomb. Avoid water damage, mold remediation, and expensive emergencies — upgrade before it’s too late.

Strata & Multi-Unit Poly-B Replacement Services

Plumbing Upgrades for Stratas, Rentals & Property Managers

If you’re a strata manager, property investor, or building owner, replacing Poly-B proactively avoids future liability:

Reduced risk of leaks between units
Protects walls, floors, and insurance premiums
Easier resale or refinancing with upgraded plumbing
Prevents disputes and claims due to shared water lines
Discounts available for multi-unit projects

We coordinate with tenants, strata councils, and city inspectors to keep your project on track with minimal disruption.

FAQs – Poly B Plumbing Replacement in BC

What colour is Poly B pipe?

Poly-B is usually grey. It’s flexible and often found in loops or running through walls near water heaters, sinks, or toilets.

Does my home have Poly B pipes?

If your home was built between 1978 and 1997 in BC, there’s a strong chance it does. We offer inspections to confirm.

Can I keep using my Poly-B pipes if they’re not leaking?

You can, but you’re taking a big risk. Poly-B can fail without warning, especially at fittings and under pressure.

Will my insurance cover Poly-B plumbing damage?

Many insurers in BC won’t cover water damage if the home still has Poly-B, or they may increase your premiums.

How long does Poly-B replacement take?

Most single-family homes take 2–3 days. Condos and strata units vary depending on access and coordination.
