Poly B Replacement – A2B Plumbing and Heating

Protect Your Home from Costly Leaks

Polybutylene (Poly-B) piping was once a common plumbing material used in homes built between the late 1970s and mid-1990s. Unfortunately, these grey plastic pipes have a long history of premature failure—leading to leaks, water damage, mold growth, and expensive insurance claims. If your home still has Poly-B plumbing, replacing it is one of the smartest investments you can make.

At A2B Plumbing & Heating, we provide safe, efficient, and code-compliant Poly-B replacement services throughout Burnaby, ensuring your home is protected for years to come.

What Is Poly-B and Why Does It Fail?

Poly-B piping was widely used due to its affordability and ease of installation. Over time, however, it became clear that Poly-B reacts negatively to common water additives, heat, and pressure—causing the pipes to weaken and eventually burst.

Common causes of Poly-B failure include:

If your home has Poly-B, it’s not a matter of if it will fail—it’s when.
