Your Aldergrove neighbours, just up the road in Abbotsford

We are based minutes from Aldergrove, so this is home turf. The town grew through the 80s and 90s, the same years builders ran Poly B as standard, so a lot of homes around the core still have grey pipe in the walls. 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 Aldergrove homes have Poly B

Poly B was the standard supply pipe in Canadian homes from roughly 1978 to 1997, which lines up with much of Aldergrove's growth. Streets around the core and the Fraser Highway corridor were plumbed with it before it was pulled from the national plumbing code in 2005 for cracking and failing as it ages.

Aldergrove has its own quirk. It runs on a local treatment plant fed by groundwater wells, topped up with Metro Vancouver supply. Groundwater is gentler on plumbing than heavily chlorinated surface water, but that only slows the chemistry. The real clock is age, and a 30-year-old line is on borrowed time no matter how clean the water is.

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.

Langley side or Abbotsford side?

The municipal boundary runs through Aldergrove. Your address sits in either the Township of Langley or the City of Abbotsford, and that decides which office issues the plumbing permit. We sort out which one applies and pull it for you.

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 an Aldergrove 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.

We cover the Aldergrove core on both the Langley and Abbotsford sides, the Otter District acreages, County Line, Shortreed, and west toward Bradner and Mount Lehman. Being based in Abbotsford puts us right next door. Not sure if you are in range? Call (604) 616-0847 and we will tell you straight.

We know the local stock and both building offices: which Aldergrove streets went in through the 90s, how the acreage homes run long lines off a pressure tank, and how Langley Township and Abbotsford each like their permit paperwork.

What Aldergrove homeowners say

★★★★★

Our place near the core had Poly B everywhere. They were in and out in four days and the ceiling patches are invisible. Could not be happier with how clean they left it.

Wade, Aldergrove

★★★★★

Acreage off the Otter road, on a well. Insurance wanted the Poly B gone. Fast quote, permit handled, one crew the whole way through. Exactly what they said.

Poly B replacement in Aldergrove: common questions

Which Aldergrove homes are most likely to have Poly B?

The subdivisions that filled in around the Aldergrove core through the 1980s and 90s are the prime candidates, along with the older homes near the Fraser Highway and 264th. Poly B was the standard supply pipe right up to the late 90s and left the Canadian plumbing code in 2005, so anything built after that is usually clear. If you are not sure of your build year, look for grey flexible pipe stamped PB2110 at the hot water tank.

Aldergrove has its own water plant. Does that affect Poly B?

Aldergrove is served by its own treatment plant that draws from local groundwater wells and tops up with Metro Vancouver supply. Groundwater is gentler on plumbing than heavily chlorinated surface water, which is good news, but it does not make Poly B safe. The pipe still turns brittle with age, heat and pressure. An Aldergrove line from the early 90s is past 30 years old, and that is when failures start.

Am I in Langley or Abbotsford for the permit?

Aldergrove straddles the boundary. Homes on the west side fall under the Township of Langley and homes on the east side fall under the City of Abbotsford, each with its own building office. We confirm which one your address sits in, pull the right plumbing permit, and book the inspection so the paperwork lines up the first time.

My place is on an acreage with a well. Does that change the job?

Plenty of Aldergrove and Otter homes sit 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.

How much does Poly B replacement cost in Aldergrove?

It comes down to the size of the home, the number of bathrooms, the finishes and how easy the pipe is to reach. A two-storey home in the core and a single-level rancher on an acreage 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 Aldergrove 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.
