For many Calgary homeowners, Poly B piping is a hidden concern lurking behind walls and under floors. This type of plumbing, widely installed in homes built between the late 1970s and the mid-1990s, was once seen as a cost-effective solution. 
However, it has revealed significant issues, including leaks, bursts, and costly water damage. If your home still relies on Poly B, addressing it isn’t just a matter of convenience—it’s a matter of protecting your investment. At Aquality Plumbing & Heating, we specialize in Poly B pipe repair and replacement, offering solutions that give homeowners lasting peace of mind.
What Makes Poly B a Problem?
Polybutylene (Poly B) pipes were initially embraced as a modern alternative to copper. They were flexible, inexpensive, and easy to install. Unfortunately, decades of use have shown their vulnerability. They are prone to:
- Cracking and becoming brittle over time
- Reacting poorly to chlorine in municipal water, leading to degradation
- Failing at joints and fittings, often without warning
When these failures occur, the damage can be extensive. Burst pipes can flood basements, ruin drywall, and lead to costly repairs. Insurers often raise premiums or even refuse coverage for homes with active Poly B systems, making it a plumbing and financial concern.
Our Experience With Poly B Repair and Replacement
We’ve worked with Calgary homeowners for years, and Poly B is one of the most common challenges in older homes. Our company has developed an approach that balances efficiency, safety, and long-term reliability. When you trust us with your Poly B replacement or repair, you can expect a seamless process from start to finish. We begin with a thorough inspection to identify the scope of the issue. While some situations call for targeted repairs, we often recommend full replacement.
That’s because patching one section rarely addresses the underlying risks of the system as a whole. By replacing it with modern, durable materials like PEX or copper, we eliminate the ongoing threat of leaks and give your plumbing system decades of reliable performance.
Minimizing Disruption in Your Home
One of homeowners’ biggest concerns when considering Poly B replacement is the disruption it might cause. We understand that your home is more than just a building—it’s where you live, work, and relax. That’s why our team works carefully and respectfully throughout the project.
We plan replacements to minimize cutting into walls and ceilings, and clean up thoroughly at each stage. Our company also works with you to create a timeline that makes sense for your schedule, ensuring the process is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Protecting Your Investment
Replacing Poly B piping isn’t just a short-term fix; it’s an investment in your home’s long-term value. With insurance companies increasingly wary of it, making the switch can improve your coverage options and increase your property’s market appeal.
Future buyers will have peace of mind knowing that the plumbing has already been upgraded, which can make your home more attractive in a competitive real estate market. By trusting us with your Poly B repair or replacement, you protect yourself from the financial and emotional strain of unexpected water damage. And now, Aquality makes that protection go even further.
