What Calgary Homeowners Are Saying About Urban Piping's Poly B Replacement Service
Finished in 8 Days—Exactly as Promised
We purchased a new house in Hawkwood and the home inspector found Poly B. He mentioned we should have it changed before we moved in. We called Urban Piping because of their numerous online reviews and recommendations. Graham organized for one of his teams to start the job the afternoon we got possession of the house, and they stayed late every day so we could move in as soon as possible. Job was completed in 8 days as promised and the house looks better than we remembered it. Glad we can live in our new house worry free. Thank you guys!

Poly B Pipe Lifespan Canada: When Should Homeowners Replace?
Poly B pipes installed between 1978–1995 typically last 10–25 years before failure risk increases significantly. Canadian homeowners should assess pipe age, water quality, and visible deterioration to determine optimal replacement timing. Acting before failure protects home value and insurance eligibility.
Home Insurance & Poly B Pipes: What Canadian Homeowners Must Know
Poly B pipes cause insurance complications for Canadian homeowners. Many insurers deny coverage or charge higher premiums for homes with aging polybutylene systems. Replacing Poly B with PEX or copper often restores full coverage eligibility and reduces claim denial risk during water damage events.
