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!

Major insurance companies including Intact, Aviva, Co-operators, TD Insurance, Wawanesa, and AMA Insurance are canceling coverage on Calgary homes with Poly B piping. Many homeowners receive non-renewal notices requiring pipe replacement within 12-24 months. Others can’t secure new insurance when Poly B is discovered during home inspections.
Insurance companies understand the data: Poly B pipes that are 25-45+ years old fail frequently, causing water damage that averages $15,000-$50,000 per claim. They’re no longer willing to take that risk. Homeowners are left grappling with the implications of these decisions and the potential financial burden of replacing their plumbing systems. Key facts about poly b insurance reveal that policies are increasingly difficult to obtain in regions where this piping is prevalent, leaving many without crucial coverage. As awareness grows, the urgency for homeowners to address their Poly B plumbing challenges becomes more pressing than ever.
Urban Piping provides complete documentation for your insurance company including before/after photos, inspection certificates, material specifications, and official compliance letters. We’ve helped thousands of Calgary homeowners maintain their coverage and avoid policy cancellations. This comprehensive documentation is especially crucial for homeowners who may encounter challenges when selling a house with poly B plumbing. By providing thorough records and demonstrating compliance with safety standards, you can alleviate potential buyer concerns and enhance your property’s appeal. Our team works diligently to ensure you have everything you need to make the process seamless and stress-free.

Day 1
Before removing any pipes, we implement extensive protection measures throughout your Calgary home:
Days 1-3
Our experienced plumbers systematically remove every inch of Poly B plumbing from your Calgary home. We create precise access cuts in ceilings and walls, then execute the complete replacement: We ensure that the new plumbing systems comply with local codes while providing long-lasting durability. Additionally, we offer poly b replacement options for condos, tailored to fit the unique requirements of multi-unit residences. Our goal is to minimize disruption during the replacement process, allowing you to enjoy peace of mind in your home.
It’s the highest-rated PEX piping available on the market, handling pressures up to 497 psi. Unlike Poly B, Class A PEX won’t burst when frozen—critical for Calgary’s -30°C winters. It resists hard water buildup, maintains flexibility across extreme temperatures, and carries a 100+ year life expectancy backed by a 25-year manufacturer warranty.
Many Calgary competitors use cheaper Class B or Class C PEX to reduce costs. Urban Piping exclusively installs Class A PEX because Calgary’s extreme weather conditions demand the absolute best materials for long-term reliability. Investing in high-quality materials not only ensures better performance but also minimizes future repair costs associated with inferior products. Homeowners should be aware of how to identify poly b pipes, as these can often lead to significant issues over time due to their vulnerability to leaks and bursts. By choosing Class A PEX, Urban Piping provides a solution that stands up to Calgary’s challenges while ensuring peace of mind for their clients.
Days 4-7
Unlike other Calgary plumbers who complete piping work and leave you searching for drywall contractors, Urban Piping’s in-house restoration team handles everything:
Complete transparency: Some patch visibility is normal due to texture aging and lighting variations. Many Calgary homeowners choose full-room painting to achieve completely seamless results, or select our “Ceiling Renewal” option for invisible patch integration.
Every drywall project includes our 2-year service warranty.
Days 8-10
After the Poly B replacement service and drywall repairs, its time to clean up and put through the finishing touches.
Calgary townhouses built between 1978–1995 often contain Poly B piping requiring coordinated replacement across shared walls. Urban Piping specializes in multi-unit townhome repiping with strata board coordination, code-compliant installations, and full drywall restoration. Most townhouse projects complete in 2–3 days per unit.
Calgary homes with Poly B in-floor radiant heating face hidden failure risks beneath concrete and flooring. Hydronic systems require specialized repiping techniques to minimize floor disruption. Urban Piping converts aging Poly B radiant loops to durable PEX while preserving existing flooring whenever possible.
Calgary condo owners must navigate condo board approval and Alberta building codes when replacing Poly B pipes. Unit repiping costs in Calgary range $6,000–$12,000 depending on accessibility and unit size. Coordinating with neighbouring units reduces costs and minimizes repeated wall openings in shared spaces.
Homes built between 1985-1997 in Calgary neighbourhoods like Tuscany, Panorama Hills, McKenzie Lake, and Hawkwood commonly contain Poly B. Look in your basement or mechanical room for grey flexible pipes stamped “PB2110” with brass crimp fittings. Not all grey pipe is Poly B—grey PEX manufactured after 1997 is safe. Urban Piping offers free assessments to definitively identify your piping. Call (403) 988-3801 to schedule.
Urban Piping exclusively installs Rehau Class A PEX—the highest-rated piping material available, handling pressures up to 497 psi. Unlike Poly B, Class A PEX won’t burst during Calgary’s -30°C winters or sudden chinook temperature swings. It resists Calgary’s hard water buildup, maintains flexibility across extreme temperatures, and carries a 100+ year lifespan backed by a 25-year manufacturer warranty.
Urban Piping offers three packages: Essentials ($5,000-$8,000 + GST) covers plumbing only, Standard ($8,000-$12,000 + GST) includes drywall contractor coordination, and Full Service ($10,000-$15,000 + GST) provides complete turnkey service including plumbing, drywall, and painting. Final pricing depends on home size, bathroom count, and basement finish level. Financing available from $150/month.
It’s becoming increasingly difficult. Major Alberta insurers including Intact, Aviva, Co-operators, TD Insurance, and Wawanesa now require complete Poly B removal within 12-24 months or won’t renew policies. Some refuse to write new policies when Poly B is discovered during inspections. Contact your insurer immediately to understand your specific requirements and deadline.
Insurance companies require complete removal of all Poly B piping to maintain or restore coverage—partial replacement won’t satisfy their requirements. Additionally, leaving aging pipe sections means they’ll likely fail soon, requiring another disruptive project. Some homeowners try pipe relining, but this doesn’t address the fundamental material degradation and isn’t accepted by insurers as remediation.
Plumbing work takes approximately 3 days (72 hours). Our Full Service Package including drywall restoration and professional painting takes 10 business days from start to final cleanup. Your family can stay home throughout—water shuts off during work hours but restores fully each evening.
Yes, significantly. Calgary real estate data shows Poly B homes sell 5-10% below comparable properties with modern plumbing. Many educated buyers refuse to consider Poly B homes regardless of price, or demand $10,000+ credits. Proactive replacement protects your property value and helps homes sell faster and closer to asking price. We provide certification letters to aid seller disclosures.
Every project includes a 25-year manufacturer warranty on Class A PEX materials, 2-year service warranty on finishing work, and official Poly B Remediation Certificate documenting complete system replacement. We provide comprehensive documentation packages with before/after photos, inspection certificates, material specifications, and compliance letters formatted specifically for Alberta insurance requirements.
