Poly B Replacement Services

Poly B Pipes are notorious for leaking, deteriorating, and cracking, which can cause extensive damage throughout your home. If your home was built between 1970 - 1990, there is a chance that it still has Poly B piping, and you may be vulnerable to water damage. 

Look under your sink to see if there is a grey-coloured plastic tube. If you see this, it is an indication that you have Poly B piping, and it is strongly recommended that you replace it as soon as possible. Upon discovering Poly B piping, contact 604-fix-leak immediately for professional Vancouver residential repiping services.

What is Poly B Piping?

Poly B piping was once seen as the future of plumbing and was installed in many Canadian homes between the 1970s - 1990s. Made with Polybutylene, Poly B was viewed as the ideal water supply line replacement for residential copper pipes because of its small size and affordability. 

Within a few years though, many Poly B pipes started to crack, leak, accumulate mold, or have their fittings come loose. And with Poly B piping, when one section of these pipes bursts or deteriorates, the damage spreads and can destroy your home.

Due to their short life span and high rate of leakage, the manufacturing and installation of Poly B piping have been discontinued in Canada for over 20 years. With that said, homes built between the 70s - 90s may still have Poly B piping that should be replaced immediately.
