The Langley crew that repipes and puts the walls back

Langley filled in fast through the late 80s and 90s, and Walnut Grove led the way. Those were peak Poly B years, so if your place there went up around 1990, odds are good that grey pipe is feeding your taps right now. We take it out, run code-approved PE-RT or PEX piping, and leave the walls looking like nobody touched them.

The number we put in writing covers the whole job: removing the Poly B, running the new lines, repairing the drywall and painting. No surprise invoices and no holes left behind for you to sort out.

Why so many Langley homes have Poly B

Poly B was the standard supply pipe in Canadian homes from roughly 1978 to 1997, and Langley's biggest growth spurt landed dead centre in that span. Whole streets in Walnut Grove and early Willoughby were plumbed with it before it was pulled from the national plumbing code in 2005 for cracking and failing as it ages.

Langley adds a wrinkle most places don't: your water depends on where you live. Roughly half the Township runs on local groundwater wells and half on Metro Vancouver's Coquitlam supply, and a fair number of rural homes sit on private wells. Chemistry varies street to street, but the constant is age. A 30-year-old line is on the clock no matter what comes out of the tap.

How to spot Poly B

Grey plastic pipe about as thick as a marker, joined with copper or plastic crimp rings and often stamped PB2110. Check at the hot water tank first, then under sinks and where lines run into the walls. It is not the white PVC of your drains, and it is not rigid copper.

City or Township?

Langley is two governments. Homes in Walnut Grove, Willoughby, Brookswood and Aldergrove fall under the Township; the downtown core falls under the City of Langley. Each issues its own plumbing permit. We pull the right one for your address so the inspection lines up the first time.

Got a Poly B letter from your insurer?

BC brokers now ask about Poly B at renewal. You might see a surcharge, a replacement deadline, water damage coverage dropped, or a flat non-renewal. One burst line can run past $15,000 in damage. Replacing the pipe clears the flag for good. Bring us the letter and we will quote a timeline that lands inside your deadline.

How the repipe runs

A whole-home repipe sounds like a wrecking ball through the house. Done right in a Langley home, it is a handful of clean days with the place livable the whole time. Here is the order we work in.

Free estimate

We walk the home, trace the Poly B, and hand you a flat written quote on the spot.

Protection

Floors, furniture and walkways get covered before any wall is opened.

Dust control

We seal off work areas and clean as we go so the rest of the house stays usable.

Remove & repipe

Out with the Poly B, in with PE-RT or PEX, permit filed and inspected.

Drywall & paint

We close the walls, patch the drywall and colour-match the paint so you cannot tell.

Where we work in and around Langley

We cover Walnut Grove and Willoughby, down through Brookswood and Fernridge, across Murrayville and the City of Langley core, out to Fort Langley and east to Aldergrove.

What Langley homeowners say

★★★★★

Our Walnut Grove house had Poly B on every floor. They were in and out in four days and the ceiling patches are invisible. Could not be happier with how clean they left it.

Insurance gave us a deadline on our Brookswood place. Fast quote, Township permit handled, one crew the whole way through. Exactly what they said it would be.

Poly B replacement in Langley: common questions

Which Langley neighbourhoods are most likely to have Poly B?

Walnut Grove is the big one. Most of it was framed between the late 80s and mid 90s, right in the Poly B window. Early Willoughby and the older parts of Brookswood and Murrayville are candidates too, along with the 1990s townhome complexes off 200th Street. Poly B left the Canadian plumbing code in 2005, so newer Yorkson and Latimer builds are usually clear. Look for grey flexible pipe stamped PB2110 at the hot water tank.

City of Langley or Township of Langley: does the permit differ?

It does, because they are two separate local governments. A repipe in Walnut Grove, Willoughby, Brookswood, Murrayville or Aldergrove is permitted through the Township of Langley. A repipe inside the City of Langley core, roughly the Nicomekl and downtown area, goes through the City. We pull the right permit for your address and book the inspection, so you do not have to figure out which hall to call.

My Langley home is on a well. Does that change the job?

About half the Township runs on groundwater, and plenty of homes in Otter, Salmon River and the Aldergrove edges are on private wells with long runs from a pressure tank. We map the whole system from the tank in and quote it flat. Long horizontal runs are routine for us; we size and route the new piping so pressure holds at every fixture once the Poly B is gone.

Does Langley water make Poly B fail faster?

Township water is a mix: about half comes from Metro Vancouver's Coquitlam source and about half from local wells, so chlorine levels vary by neighbourhood. Water chemistry plays a part, but the bigger driver is age. A Walnut Grove line installed in 1991 is past 30 years old, and that is when Poly B gets brittle at the fittings and starts to weep. We treat age, not just water, as the real clock.

How much does Poly B replacement cost in Langley?

It comes down to the size of the home, the number of bathrooms, the finishes and how easy the pipe is to reach. A three-level Willoughby house and a one-storey Brookswood rancher on a big lot are different jobs. We give you a flat written number after an on-site look, and it covers removal, the repipe, drywall repair and paint.

How long will my home be torn up?

Most Langley homes take a few days. The repipe is usually one to two days, then drywall and paint follow. You keep water service overnight in most cases, and we clean up at the end of each day so the house stays livable while we work.
