Poly B Pipe Replacement — Repiped and Walls Finished, Done Right
Failing Poly B plumbing puts your home insurance — and your peace of mind — at risk. Polybutylene pipe is replaced with modern PEX across Calgary, Edmonton and Red Deer, and because we finish the drywall in-house, you get your walls restored in the same job. One crew. One price. No holes left behind.
Many home insurers now decline, cancel or surcharge policies on homes with Poly B — replacing it is typically what restores your eligibility for standard coverage.

What Is Poly B — and Why It's a Problem Now
Poly B (polybutylene) is the grey plastic water pipe installed in hundreds of thousands of Canadian homes built roughly between 1978 and 1998. Decades on, the fittings and pipe degrade from the inside out — which is why insurers have changed their stance on it.
Today, many home insurance companies decline, cancel, or surcharge policies on homes that still have Poly B, and most will only restore standard coverage once the pipe has been fully replaced — not patched. Poly B also shows up on almost every pre-purchase inspection, giving buyers leverage and putting deals at risk.
If your home was built in that window, replacing Poly B isn't just maintenance — it protects your coverage, your resale value, and your home from a surprise leak.
Is This You?
Who This Is For — and Who It Isn't
We'd rather tell you honestly than waste your time.
This is for you if…
- Your home was built between 1978 and 1998
- You're seeing grey (or white or black) flexible plastic Poly B pipe
- Your insurer has flagged, surcharged, or declined coverage over Poly B
- You're buying or selling a home affected by Poly B
This isn't for you if…
- Your home was built after 1998 and doesn't have Poly B
And we’ll tell you honestly if you don’t need the work — an on-site look either confirms it or rules it out, no obligation either way.
Repipe · Restore · Done
Repipe. Restore. Done. — The Whole Job, One Crew
Most plumbers replace the pipe and leave you with open walls and a second contractor to chase. We don't. Here's how a Poly B Pipe Replacement repipe works:
On-site look
A licensed plumbing contractor inspects your plumbing, confirms the Poly B, and gives you a clear, up-front quote for the full job — pipe and walls.
Whole-home repipe
The contractors we refer replace your Poly B with durable PEX, permitted and installed by licensed plumbers, typically in one to two days with the water back on each night where possible.
Drywall restored in-house
Our own drywall team patches, finishes and paints every opening — so when we leave, you genuinely can't tell we were here.
Insurance-ready paperwork
You get documentation of the completed replacement to give your insurer.
Why "walls finished in-house" matters
One Company, Start to Finish
A whole-home repipe means cutting into walls and ceilings throughout your house. Anyone can pull out the pipe — the question is who fixes the mess. Because our drywall finishing is part of the same company, there's no second trade to book, no gap where your home sits torn open, and no finger-pointing over the finish.
the contractors we refer replace the pipe and finish the drywall through our in-house partner, Emplastrum Drywall — no second contractor.
The same team owns the pipe and the finish, so the quality is on us.
You get a finished home back — not a plumbing job and a to-do list.

What Does Poly B Replacement Cost?
The honest answer: it depends on your home's size, number of bathrooms, and how the plumbing is run — which is exactly why we give you a firm quote after an on-site look, with no surprises. Because we handle the pipe and the drywall together, you're comparing one complete price, not stacking a plumber's bill on top of a drywall bill.
Insurance
Poly B and Your Home Insurance
More and more Alberta insurers now treat Poly B as a condition of coverage. Replacing it is typically what restores your eligibility for standard home insurance — and we give you the documentation your insurer will ask for. Your insurer makes the final decision.
Poly B vs PEX
Why Poly B Is Replaced With PEX
PEX is the modern standard that's replaced Poly B in new construction — flexible, durable and freeze-resistant. It's the pipe installed on every whole-home repipe.

Common Questions
Poly B Replacement — Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have Poly B pipe?
Poly B is a grey (sometimes white or black) flexible plastic pipe, usually stamped "PB2110," most common in homes built between about 1978 and 1998. A licensed contractor confirms it for certain.
Do I have to replace all of it, or can you just fix the leaks?
Most insurers require full replacement, not spot repairs, to restore coverage — and because the whole system ages together, partial fixes tend to just move the next failure down the line. We quote whole-home repiping for that reason.
Will you fix the walls, or do I need a drywaller after?
We finish the drywall ourselves as part of the job — patch, sand, and paint — so you don't need a second contractor.
How long does a repipe take?
Most single-family homes are completed in one to two days, with water restored each night wherever possible.
Will this help with my home insurance?
Replacing Poly B is typically what restores your eligibility for standard coverage, and we provide documentation of the completed work for your insurer. Your insurer makes the final decision.
What does it cost?
It depends on your home — we give you a firm, up-front quote after an on-site look.
In Short
