A must-read if you have Poly B pipes!

If you only read one paragraph, read this!

The hard truth is that Poly B is very concerning if it is in your home. The high chance and risk of water leaks that cause damage, coupled with limited insurance policies, leave homes with Poly B as a huge topic of conversation. In Canada, most installations of Poly B were between 1985 and 1997. At Aquality, we are all about transparency and with Poly B, you need to know that it is not about “if” the pipe will fail, it is about “when” it will fail.

The Facts about Poly B in Calgary

What is Poly B Piping?

Poly B got its name because it is technically called polybutylene pipe. It’s a semi-flexible grey coloured water line that might even be stamped with “PB2110” (like the image shown) or “poly B potable”. 

It isn’t toxic or bad for you. It is very bad for your house and bank account when it starts to leak.

Replace your Poly B Pipes

Better assurance that you’ll avoid a disaster.

Your insurance rates should improve if you replace your Poly B piping. 

Stop worrying about when your pipes will leak.

Why does Poly B fail and leak?

There are many theories about how and why it will not last, and regardless of the causes, there is nothing you can do other than replace it with another type of piping. We also know the common statement that only the plastic fittings are the issue, but this is a myth.  We have seen the pipe itself develop a pinhole more times than you would think – this is a very common issue. The pipe simply gets brittle and fails on fittings and crimps, as mentioned on the pipe itself. Your focus needs to be on resolving the problem, not getting stuck on why they failed.

Still not sure if you have Poly B pipes?

Sometimes it is hard to tell. Not all plastic pipes are Poly B. If you are unsure, contact us and we will be happy to help you. As a guideline, many homes were made using Poly B, because the whole industry thought it was the most ideal solution, until it was de-listed and no longer used around 2005. Before Poly B, water lines were made of copper, which is costly. So if your home’s plumbing was installed between 1985 and 2005, your pipes might be Poly B. 

If your Pipes look good, is it okay to leave them?

Many Poly B pipes look perfectly good on the outside – but trust us – even the new looking ones are breaking down from the inside. They can spring a leak quickly and unexpectedly.
