Quick response, efficient care in replacing entire piping in house. Knowledgable and straight to point on issues. Only problem was follow-up on some issues. Had a personal hand tool go missing after job was complete and was told it would be looked for in workers equipment. There was no follow up information provided and several attempts to inquire about retrieving it from whomever took it were not acknowledged or calls returned. Hand tool still missing.Update: Since review was posted, we did get the hand tool returned to us.I have recommended Urban Piping to several parties who have heard about our poly b removal experience, as the quality of replacement pipe, the efficiency and knowledge was high level.

We had Poly B™ piping removed from our house with this company in June 2022. We have mixed feelings about the experience.Positives: The work of removing the Poly B™ piping, replacing the piping, and drywalling the house was excellent. When we returned to the house after the work was complete we were overjoyed to see how well everything had been repaired, and all of the plumbing worked great. It was easy to have this work done and set up by Urban Piping, and the team was communicative about how and what would be done through the process.Negatives: A marble composite bathtub skirt/siding was broken into multiple pieces in the process of removing one of the pipes. During our walkthrough with Graham, he assured us that he would help connect us to someone who would repair the piece. He also implied the repair would be covered and initiated by them. We paid for the completed pipe work and awaited further instructions about the tub. A month went by without any contact and the damage remained, which made it unsafe to use due to the potential for splashing into the interior walls behind the bathtub. We attempted to contact Urban Piping, the admin desk, and Graham directly over the next 2 months. Calls were not returned and Graham left multiple texts on read, then responded by sending us contact information for the person he said could repair the damage and denied he would cover the damage that his team caused. 3 full months went by. We spoke to his contact. She as well as 5 other bathtub repair companies indicated the repair was too large and would need to be ordered new. After receiving quotes, we ordered a new piece ourselves. Graham never responded further to our communication about this, including an invoice for the cost of replacement. We paid $2000 to have the piece replaced and had to do several hours of searching to find out what was needed as there are limited sources of marble composite siding.We would recommend the pipe replacement work done by the company as it was was worth the price and excellent quality. However, the unresolved bathtub damage replacement really soured our experience and made us wary of Urban Piping's customer service and very disappointed in Graham's lack of integrity. If you use this service, we would suggest carefully inspecting for damage and not providing full payment until it is repaired at Urban Piping's cost and time instead of yours.

Had Graham and two of his crew completely replace all poly b piping in my house and brought to code with pex piping. They had completed my entire house in one full day. Also addressed other issues and actually repaired them and kept the price within our contract. They were very friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond. Me my wife and our newest little addition, are very thankful. The drywall and painting afterwards within the same company, was top notch. They even mudded my main wall and painted to match their repairs. That wasn’t included in the price but they did it anyways. I cannot express how thankful we are. The company should have 5 star rating. I highly recommend them for any plumbing or poly b needs. Even drywalling. They will definitely be hired for any services going forward and all my family and friends will use nobody else. Thanks Urban Piping 🙏🏻

A pipe burst in the middle of the night and we were freaking out, didn't know who to call and what to do. We got a hold of Graham from Urban Piping, and he was there very quickly. The fast call back time was what sold us, as well as his knowledgeable conversation. The job was done quickly, its like they were never here. Very impressed with the work from Urban Piping.

Urban piping installed a new hot water heater in my house. Gary and Dennis were efficient and polite. They took care not to damage my floors while removing the old water heater and bringing in the new water heater. They installed a good quality quarter turn ball valve and used braided hoses, ensuring an easy install years down the road. The hot water tank itself was a high spec model and was installed at a reasonable price.

My dad had to have all of his piping replaced before listing his house. We thought it was going to cost an arm and a leg but we found Urban Piping and were very happy with the estimate. He did not over charge anything, no hidden fees, and the quality of work and time put in is well worth it. I am happy that we decided to use Graham and his team because they are hard working individuals who get the job done.

While renovating our kitchen we had to get call a plumber in because of a small leak. When Graham was there he was fixing the repair and had informed us that the piping in our home was out of date and banned. We ended up going with Urban Piping for an entire plumbing pipe replacement. 10/10 would recommend them.

We were in the midst of selling our home and were told that we would have to replace some of our piping. I had no idea what polybutylene was but found out from our home inspector it is not good. We were referred to Urban Piping to replace these pipes. Graham and his team came in, left our home in the exact same condition (maybe even cleaner). I was blown away with the professionalism and high quality of work form Urban Piping

We had our poly-b pipes pre-emptively replaced and when they were describing the process of how they were going to remove the pipes, you can't help but feel worried about what your house would look like after, but if I hadn't of dropped in part way through I never would have known they were there. The house looked the same as it did when we left, the team really cared about doing the job properly and getting all the details right. It's how business should be run, on time, on budget, doing what they say they are going to do (and even going the extra mile when they didn't have to).

Before calling these guys I knew nothing about what was causing so many plumbing issues in my home. They were very knowledgeable and patient about explaining how my home had been built with outdated and faulty pipes. We agreed on getting them all changed out. They were in and out in a few days with such a good job of cleaning you really couldn’t tell they were in there. Couldn’t be happier and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend graham and his team.

After doing research on a new house I wanted to purchase, I found out that it contained polybutylene or poly b piping.I started investigating companies that replaced the piping, and found Urban Piping specializes in this type of work.We called them out for a consultation, and they were able to provide us with an exact price upon seeing the job.We went with them, and they did such a great job, we can’t even see where the holes in the drywall were cut. If it wasn’t for pictures of the work we wouldn’t believe they were here. I loved that they kept us updated and sent us lots of puctures. Graham was such a pleasure to deal with. cant say enough good things. they made such a terrifying experience so hassle free .thanks guys!

Poly B™ Vancouver – Poly B™ Pipe Replacement
Commercial and residential poly-b replacement is a required project that must be undertaken to prevent possible property damages and threat to health that failed poly-b pipes can cause. Although poly-b pipes were cheaper than other plumbing pipes, they are more vulnerable to damages and were targeted in class action lawsuits in the past.
As a result, homes and businesses that have poly-b pipes installed in them, especially in Vancouver and Lower Mainland, British Columbia should start considering replacing these pipes as soon as possible.
What is Polybutylene Piping?
Polybutylene or poly-b pipes are gray plumbing pipes made from plastic resin and used for water supply lines or plumbing system of a house. Polybutylene pipes were first introduced to the construction world around 1975 as a cheaper alternative to copper pipe. As a result, most townhomes, condos, apartment buildings, single dwelling houses, and many shopping malls in Vancouver and Lower Mainland, British Columbia have poly-b pipes installed in them.
Unfortunately, polybutylene pipes have proven to be defective and resulted in diverse water damages. As a result, its production was discontinued – making its replacement a mandatory project for residential and commercial buildings.
What Does Poly B™ Piping Need to Be Replaced
Around 1995, the production and use of polybutylene pipe was discontinued because of several reasons centered on the failure of the pipes that resulted in damages worth millions of dollars. As a result, buildings with poly-b pipes need to replace them as soon as possible.
Here are some reasons for poly-b replacement in Vancouver and Lower Mainland, British Columbia.
Poly B™ Piping Cracks
Polybutylene pipes have been found to break after some years of use because they are made from plastic resin that cannot last forever. These cracks cause poly-b pipes to leak and result in flooding and water damages in several homes.
Poly B™ Piping Bursts Due to Water Pressure
Polybutylene pipes are designed to handle water pressure below 70 pounds. However, in homes with higher water pressure reaching over 100 pounds pressure, poly-b pipes crack or burst.
Poly B™ Piping and Water Temperature
Poly-b pipes also become weak faster with excessive water temperature. The plastic becomes weak over time, even with the use of chlorine, chloramine, and other oxidant chemicals used for treating water. The pipes become brittle and vulnerable to bursting of cracking.
Poly B™ Piping and Health Issues
Wet areas allow mold to grow. And mold has been linked to several health issues such as allergies, respiratory issues, headaches, etc. Poly-b pipes’ failure will cause the walls of the home to be wet and all mold to grow.
From the reasons above, it is essential to start commercial and residential poly-b replacement in Vancouver and Lower Mainland, British Columbia to avoid the mishaps above. However, you must hire a professional plumbing company for the replacement project. Urban Piping can help you in this regard.
