One company the whole way through.
Most plumbers pull the Poly-B out and hand you a list of drywallers. We do not work that way.
POLY-B REPLACEMENT, CALGARY
Calgary insurers are dropping Poly-B homes. We take it out properly.
If your house was built between 1978 and 1998, there is a good chance grey Poly-B pipe is still in the walls. We remove all of it, repipe the house in modern PEX, then patch and paint so the rooms look new rather than repaired. One crew, one company, priced up front.

Find out where you actually stand.
Tell us about the house and Jay or someone on the team will come out, confirm whether you have Poly-B, walk you through what replacing it involves, and give you a real number. No pressure and no obligation. We ask for the address so we can look up the build year and the plans before we arrive.
Or call 403-389-9775. Urgent calls jump the queue.
The insurance clock is already running.
Insurers across Alberta are stepping back from Poly-B. Premiums are climbing, water damage coverage is being restricted, and some homeowners are getting non-renewal letters that give them twelve to twenty-four months to replace it.
Poly-B does not fail gradually. It holds for years, then lets go without warning, and it is the water damage that costs real money, not the repipe.
Replacing it now means the timing is your decision instead of your insurer's.
Choose how finished you want it.
Every option includes complete Poly-B removal and a full PEX repipe. The difference is the state of your walls when we drive away.

Complete Poly-B replacement
Remove. Replace. Restore.
You can stay in the house.
Water goes back on each evening wherever the job allows, so nobody has to move out.
Documentation for your insurance company.
When the job is finished we provide written documentation of the replacement, so you can show your insurer the Poly-B is gone and get your coverage back on solid ground.
Spread the cost.
Replacing Poly-B protects the house and the policy, and it should not come down to what is in the chequing account this month. Ask about financing when you book your assessment.

Poly-B across a whole building?
Rental portfolios, condo buildings and stratas from the same era carry the same risk, multiplied. Handling it on a planned schedule costs less than handling it after a unit floods, and it keeps insurance conversations simple for the board. We work with property managers on staged, documented replacement across multiple units.

Common questions
Straight answers about Poly-B.
Can you still get home insurance with Poly-B in Calgary?
It is getting harder every year. Many Alberta insurers now charge higher premiums on Poly-B homes, restrict water damage coverage, or decline to renew altogether, often giving twelve to twenty-four months to replace it. Policies vary, so confirm your own situation with your insurer.
How much does Poly-B replacement cost in Calgary?
Most whole-home replacements land between $4,000 and $12,000. The range depends on the size of the house, the number of bathrooms, how accessible the pipe runs are, and whether you want the walls patched and painted afterward.
How do I know if my house has Poly-B?
Look for dull grey flexible plastic pipe, usually stamped PB2110, at the hot water tank, in the basement ceiling, or under sinks at the shut-off valves. Calgary homes built between 1978 and 1998 are the most likely to have it. We confirm it for free.
How long does a whole-home repipe take?
Most Calgary homes are repiped in a few days depending on size and layout, and you get a firm timeline before the work starts.
Do we have to move out during the repipe?
Usually not. We restore water service each evening wherever the job allows, so most families stay in the house throughout.
