1. On-site free estimate

We believe in the old-fashioned way of doing things. Do a great job, and get paid when the job is done. It’s reassuring for our customers. You can count on our complete commitment to doing the job the right way.

When you reach out to our team, we schedule an on-site visit with you in your home. Our expert will walk through what to expect with our service. You can expect to receive a detailed quote within 24 to 48 hours of our attendance, at no charge to you.

2. Protection

Before we start the Poly B removal process, we want to protect your home from any potential construction damage. We ask that you remove as much furniture and personal belongings out of the work areas as possible. At that point, Poly B Plumbing Guys will take the necessary measures to protect your floors and remaining furniture to minimize potential damage while your home is under construction.

3. Dust Control

We know how important it is to keep your home clean and comfortable during your poly b replacement. That’s why we go the extra mile to reduce dust every step of the way. We protect your floors with durable coverings, seal off work areas with poly barriers, and use HEPA filter vacuums along with dust-reducing cutting tools. Our goal is to keep the dust contained, protect your home, and give you peace of mind while we work.

4. Removing Existing Poly B Plumbing and Drywall

Our Red Seal certified plumbing technicians take pride in providing a professional and worry-free experience when replacing your home’s Poly-B piping. We carefully remove the old piping and install industry-leading pipes and fittings that meet the highest standards of the National Plumbing Code of Canada. To make the process simple for you, we handle all necessary permit applications and inspection requests. When cutting access holes, we do so with the next steps in mind, ensuring the best possible opportunity for a seamless, blemish-free finish once the work is complete.

5. New Drywall and Paint Installation

After your old Poly B pipes are replaced, we’ll make sure your walls and ceilings are put back together beautifully. Our team handles new drywall patches, smooths everything out, and blends ceiling texture where needed. To complete the job, we colour-match your existing paint and apply primer along with two coats of premium latex paint. Many of our clients also choose to repaint entire walls for a crisp, seamless look, and we’re happy to provide that service too. The result? A clean, polished space that looks as though the pipes were never touched. In fact, many of our reviewers say they can’t even tell we were there.

The Importance of Removing Poly B

Polybutylene (Poly B) is a type of plastic piping that was widely used in the mid 1980’s through 1998. While it was originally thought to be a cost-effective alternative to copper, it has since been found to be prone to failure, particularly in areas with higher water pressure or chlorine levels.

The importance of Polybutylene pipe replacement cannot be overstated, as it can lead to significant water damage and even mold growth in homes. Poly B pipes can rupture, causing massive water damage or have pin-hole leaks and micro-fissures that go unnoticed and cause mold behind the walls and ceilings of your home. The subsequent water damage can lead to costly repairs, and many insurance companies are re-evaluating coverage on homes where Poly B is still installed.

Poly B Plumbing Guys specializes in Poly B removal, helping homeowners to replace their Poly B piping with more reliable and durable alternatives. By removing Poly B pipes from your plumbing system, you can protect your home from potential water damage, reduce the risk of leaks and other plumbing issues, and increase the overall value of your property. Don’t wait until it’s too late; contact Poly B Plumbing Guys today to schedule your Calgary Poly B replacement.

We recently hired Poly B Plumbing Guys to replace all of the remaining Poly B piping in our home, a project we weren’t exactly excited about, but became necessary when our insurance provider threatened to cancel our coverage if we didn’t address it.

From start to finish, the team at Poly B was absolutely outstanding. They handled the full scope of the work, including cutting into our walls and ceilings to access the old pipes. Most impressively, they repaired and repainted everything so well that you can’t even tell they were here.

Their professionalism, communication, attention to detail, and quality of work gave us peace of mind during a stressful situation, and we were very impressed by how quickly they got the job done. I would highly recommend Poly B Plumbing Guys to anyone needing a Poly B replacement or any major plumbing work!

After doing extensive research and receiving multiple quotes, I chose POLY B Plumbing to replace the outdated plumbing in my home. While this type of project is never fun and certainly not inexpensive, I took the opportunity to make a few worthwhile improvements.

They replaced the manifold board and installed new manifolds with individual shut-offs, which proved incredibly helpful during my bathroom renovations. I also had them rework some piping to eliminate unsightly sagging tubes in the basement storage area.

I’m extremely pleased with the final result — not only the plumbing, but also the drywall and painting. Stephen was great to work with; professional, responsive, and committed to making sure everything was done right. I’m glad I chose POLY B and would recommend them without hesitation.

After showing the final results to my neighbours two have since signed up and completed their plumbing and two others are pending quotes
Thanks Poly B Guys

Just had our Poly B replaced by the Poly B Plumbing Guys. We can’t say enough about this first-class team. We experienced exceptional communication with our sales person, Dea and our contact from the office, Katarina. We were provided access to an online portal that provided the schedule, updates, messages and reports, and contact info for the tradesmen. The tradesmen were polite, skilled, professional and reliable. We were dreading this project as our basement is finished. The plumbing team did an amazing job of cutting access holes carefully and neatly which enabled the drywall team to patch and texture the areas so that it looks like it did prior to the project. We were very happy with the work and highly recommend The Poly B Plumbing Guys.

The greatest company I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. They were communicative, pleasurable and overall very hard working. 10/10. Keep Ryan on board as he's a good guy and was genuinely just a great worker. Thanks!

We would highly recommend the Poly-B guys if you are looking to have your Poly-b pipes replaced. They were quick to come out and give us a quote. We were thinking we would have to wait months but instead they said they could fit us in the following week. They showed up the day before work began and covered all the floors up, then the next day the plumbers showed up and did the pipe replacement. We had 44 holes in our ceiling which was hard to see but Tony the drywaller and Richard the painter did such a great job you would have no idea. It looks amazing. Great service, great price and great job!! Highly recommend.

We purchased a 'new to us' home that had poly b plumbing & needed to have it removed. We did a little research of companies within Calgary, Alberta and The Poly B Plumbing Guys had the best ratings so we contacted them for a quote.
From the very first interaction with Stephen the owner, we felt we were in good hands! He gave us a quote & booked us a start date.
Adam arrived on the Monday morning & placed floor protection over our carpets & floors anywhere the crews would be working. Tuesday morning the plumbers, Sebastian & his partner Alex arrived. After bringing in their equipment, they shut the main water off around 7:30 a.m. & got to work! Boy do those 2 guys work hard WOW 😮. By 3:00 p.m. they had the water back on! Wednesday morning Terry the drywaller arrived and got to work putting back the drywall that the plumbers had to cut out in order to put in the new pipes. He is an amazing tradesman! 😊 You cannot tell where any repairs were done! He also did all the texturing of the ceilings where they needed access. His wife even came on the last day to help him & she also does most of the cleanup! They left my home very clean, I hardly had any dust! He has to put 3 coats of mud so it takes a few days but it was well worth the wait! Then the painters, Richard & his partner ( I am so sorry but I forgot your name) arrived the following Wednesday morning. They were done by noon & we now have our home back and worry free in regards to any potential breakage or leaks! In total, it only took 9 days, start to finish.
When we received our invoice, it was exactly the amount that Stephen quoted us, no hidden fees!

If you are looking to have your poly b piping replaced, do not hesitate to hire The Poly B Plumbing Guys! They treat your home like it was theirs!

Thanks again to the whole crew, you are ALL AMAZING and we couldn't be happier 😁

Poly-B was very well organized, punctual and efficient. We didn't expect the entire plumbing replacement to be done in less than six hours, but it was. They even fixed all the old plumbing issues along the way. Making every thing neat and tidy. Drywall tape, mud, sand and paint was all completed in a couple days after. House looks like they were never here. Was an overall awesome experience. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing to replace your Poly-B piping. They did things perfect. Thank you to everyone at Poly-B Guys!!

Ask Us Anything About Poly B Replacement

What does Poly B pipe look like, and how do I know if my home has it?

Poly B pipe is grey or occasionally blue plastic tubing stamped with the code "PB2110." It was installed in most Western Canadian homes built between 1985 and 1998. Check under sinks, around your water heater, and in utility rooms. If you see grey flexible plastic pipe, you likely have Poly B.

Is Poly B pipe dangerous?

Poly B pipe degrades from the inside when exposed to chlorine in municipal water. Damage is invisible until the pipe cracks or bursts — often without warning. A failure inside a wall can cause tens of thousands of dollars in water damage, mould remediation, and structural repairs before it's even discovered.

Will my home insurance be cancelled because of Poly B pipes?

Yes — many Canadian insurers are cancelling or declining to renew policies on homes with Poly B plumbing. Others are raising premiums significantly or excluding water damage caused by Poly B failures. Replacing your Poly B pipes is typically required to maintain full coverage. Contact your insurer to confirm your current policy status.

How much does Poly B pipe replacement cost in Calgary?

Poly B replacement cost in Calgary depends on home size, the number of fixtures, and wall accessibility. The Poly B Plumbing Guys provide fixed-price quotes — no surprise billing. Most single-family homes are completed in one to two days. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote based on your specific home.

What happens during a Poly B pipe replacement?

Our Red Seal certified plumbers follow a three-step Remove–Replace–Restore process. We shut off your water, remove all Poly B piping, and install modern PEX throughout your home. Then our crew patches drywall and repaints — leaving your home looking exactly as it did before. You deal with one company from start to finish.

How long does it take to replace Poly B pipes?

Most Poly B replacements in Calgary and surrounding areas are completed in one to two days for a standard single-family home. Larger homes or complex layouts may require an additional day. We schedule drywall and painting immediately after plumbing is complete, so your home is fully restored within the same project window.

What do you replace Poly B pipes with?

We replace Poly B with PEX (cross-linked polyethylene), the industry standard for modern residential plumbing in Canada. PEX is flexible, freeze-resistant, and unaffected by the chlorine that destroys Poly B over time. It carries a 25-year manufacturer warranty and meets all Alberta and B.C. building codes.

Do I need to replace Poly B pipes before selling my home?

Not legally, but practically yes. Poly B must be disclosed to buyers in most provinces. Once disclosed, it typically triggers price reductions, financing conditions, or buyer withdrawal. Replacing Poly B before listing removes the negotiation liability and makes your home insurable for the next owner — maximizing sale price and speed.

Are The Poly B Plumbing Guys licensed and certified?

Yes. All plumbing work is performed by Red Seal certified journeymen plumbers — the highest tradesperson credential in Canada. We carry full liability insurance and WCB coverage. Our 4.9-star Google rating across hundreds of completed projects reflects our single-crew, single-project commitment on every job.
