Is your insurance company refusing to insure your home or business with Poly B (Polybutylene) piping?
It may be time to consider replacing it. Poly B piping, commonly used in the 1980s and 1990s, was an affordable and easier to use alternative to copper at the time. Unfortunately, within 10 years, chemicals in water treatment systems began to deteriorate the piping, leading to leaks, water damage, costly repairs, and lawsuits. In 1997, Poly B was banned by the National Plumbing Code and in 2005, the Government of Canada officially removed Poly B from the list of acceptable plumbing piping materials.
Poly B pipes are prone to cracking and bursting, especially when exposed to high water pressure or fluctuating temperatures.
Modern piping materials provide better water flow and quality.
While the initial investment may seem high, replacing Poly B reduces the likelihood of future plumbing emergencies and repairs, saving you money in the long run.
