Securing Your Home: Upgrade from Poly B Pipes Now to Protect Against Costly Damage and Insurance Coverage Issues.
You may have just found out that your home has Poly B pipes, or right now you don’t even know what type of plumbing your current home has. What you need to know is that if your home was built between the 70's to the late 90’s you may have Poly B pipes throughout your entire home. Recent changes to home insurance policies are leaving homeowners unprotected against the damage caused by malfunctioning Poly B piping. If your home has Poly B pipes they will fail and you may end up being left paying for all the damages.
We know that taking on the project of changing your Poly B plumbing is inconvenient, unexpected, and frankly worse than going to the dentist for a cavity. But leaving Poly B in your home could be even costlier than you are financially able to handle down the road.
Upgrading Your Pipes Ensures that You:
Prevent Water Damage
Poly B pipes are known for serious issues such as premature degradation, brittleness, and vulnerability to waterborne chemicals like chlorine. This makes them prone to unexpected leaks and ruptures, causing widespread water damage and leading to expensive repairs for homeowners
Stop Mould
These pipes can develop tiny pin-hole leaks and micro-fissures, often escaping detection and causing mould growth behind your home's walls and ceilings. Breathing in mould can pose various health risks for your family.
Prevent Insurance Issues
Several insurance companies are reassessing coverage for homes that still have Poly B pipes installed. Making it difficult for homeowners to get coverage or sell their homes.

What Is Poly B?
Polybutylene piping, commonly known as Poly B, is a type of plastic plumbing material that was widely used in residential and commercial construction from the late 70's to the late 90's. It gained popularity due to its cost-effectiveness and ease of installation. However, Poly B pipes have a history of significant issues, including premature degradation, brittleness, and susceptibility to chlorine and other chemicals in water, leading to unexpected leaks and ruptures. These problems have resulted in widespread water damage and costly repairs for many homeowners. Due to its inherent vulnerabilities, Poly B piping is now generally considered outdated and risky, prompting many Calgary homeowners to consider replacement with more durable and reliable plumbing materials.
Importance Of Removing Poly B
Poly B is plagued by several critical issues that have led to its decline in usage. Firstly, it has shown a propensity for premature deterioration, with the pipes becoming brittle and prone to cracking over time. Secondly, Poly B is highly sensitive to the chemicals commonly found in water, accelerating its degradation and increasing the likelihood of leaks and bursts. Thirdly, the connection fittings used with Poly B pipes are often unreliable, leading to joint failures and subsequent water damage. Lastly, the material's susceptibility to temperature and sunlight further exacerbates its structural weaknesses, making Poly B a problematic choice for long-lasting plumbing systems.
How To Tell If You Have Poly B
Identifying the presence of Polybutylene (Poly B) piping in a house involves a few key steps. Firstly, inspect the visible pipes for their distinctive gray colour and plastic-like appearance, often marked with "PB2110" or "PB2110A." Secondly, focus on unfinished areas, such as basements or utility rooms, where pipes might be exposed, allowing for a visual assessment. Thirdly, contacting previous homeowners or builders can provide valuable information about the plumbing materials used during construction. Lastly, enlisting the expertise of a professional plumber or home inspector can accurately confirm the presence of Poly B pipes and guide you on any necessary steps for replacement or maintenance.
