Problems

Common Issues with Poly B Plumbing in Townhomes

Increased Risk of Water Damage

Poly B piping is prone to cracking and bursting, especially as it ages, which can lead to severe water damage in townhome complexes where units share walls.

Insurance Coverage Challenges

Many insurance companies have updated their policies to increase premiums or deny coverage altogether for townhomes with Poly B plumbing due to the increased risk of leaks and water damage.

Property Value Decline

The presence of Poly B piping can deter potential buyers and lower the resale value of townhomes, as prospective buyers are often wary of the costs and risks associated with these older plumbing systems.

Complex Stakeholder Coordination

The need for consensus among multiple homeowners and possibly a strata board can complicate the logistics of replacing Poly B piping, delaying necessary upgrades.

Inconsistent Water Pressure and Quality

Poly B pipes can degrade over time, leading to issues with water pressure and quality that affect daily living, from inconsistent showers to potential health risks from contaminated water.

High Replacement Costs and Disruption

Replacing Poly B piping can be expensive and disruptive, particularly in densely built townhome communities where access to plumbing systems may involve working in multiple units simultaneously.
