If your Edmonton or Sherwood Park home was built between the 1970s and 1990s, there's a good chance it contains Poly B (polybutylene) piping—a material once favored for its affordability and ease of installation. However, over time, Poly B has proven to be unreliable, prone to leaks, and can lead to significant water damage. Recognizing these risks, many homeowners are opting for full replacements to ensure the safety and longevity of their plumbing systems.
Understanding the Risks of Poly B Piping
Poly B pipes are susceptible to deterioration due to factors like chlorine exposure in municipal water, high water temperatures, and improper installation. This degradation can lead to cracks, leaks, and even sudden pipe bursts, posing significant risks to your home's integrity. Moreover, many insurance companies are hesitant to provide coverage for homes with existing Poly B piping, making replacement not just a safety measure but also a financial consideration.
