Poly B Replacement Central Alberta

Poly B replacement in Central Alberta typically ranges from $6,000 to $15,000+, depending on home size, number of bathrooms, ceiling and wall access required, and whether drywall, texture, and paint restoration is included. A bungalow with an unfinished basement sits at the lower end, while a two-storey home with finished ceilings runs higher because of the additional drywall and paint work. We provide a fixed, on-site quote within 24–48 hours of inspection — no hourly billing, no surprise change orders. The price you're quoted is the price you pay.

Yes — and this is the #1 reason Central Alberta homeowners call us. Major Canadian insurers, including several operating in Alberta, are now refusing to renew, increasing premiums, or excluding water damage coverage on homes with active Poly B plumbing. Some carriers issue a renewal notice with a 30–90 day window to replace the system. If your insurer has flagged your Poly B, we can typically schedule, complete, and provide documented proof of full replacement within that window — including a Red Seal plumber's letter and final municipal inspection report you can submit directly to your insurance company.

Most full Poly B replacements in Red Deer, Sylvan Lake, Lacombe, Innisfail, and surrounding Central Alberta communities take 7–14 business days from start to finish. The plumbing portion itself is usually completed in 1–2 days (water is typically restored the same day it's shut off). The remainder of the timeline covers drywall patching, mudding, sanding, ceiling texture matching, primer, and two coats of paint. Homes stay liveable throughout — water is only off during active plumbing hours, and we contain dust with poly barriers and HEPA vacuums.

Yes. We regularly service Red Deer, Sylvan Lake, Lacombe, Blackfalds, Innisfail, Penhold, Olds, Rocky Mountain House, Stettler, Ponoka, and surrounding rural acreages throughout Central Alberta. Acreage and well-water properties often need extra attention because Poly B fails faster under high mineral content and well-water chlorination patterns common in the region. There is no rural travel surcharge within our standard Central Alberta service zone.

We replace Poly B with PEX-A (cross-linked polyethylene), the current Canadian residential standard. PEX-A meets the National Plumbing Code of Canada and the Alberta Plumbing Code, carries a 25-year manufacturer warranty, resists chlorine and high-pressure failure (the two issues that destroy Poly B), and handles Alberta winter conditions without the freeze-burst risk of older materials. We pull all required permits with the municipality or county, and every job passes a final plumbing inspection before we close the walls.

No. Our Central Alberta clients stay in their homes for the entire project. Water is only shut off during active plumbing hours — usually 7:00 AM to mid-afternoon on day one — and is fully restored by evening. We seal off work areas with poly barriers, lay floor protection through every traffic path, and run HEPA-filtered vacuums to keep the rest of the home clean and usable. Kitchens, bedrooms, and at least one bathroom remain functional throughout the project in nearly every job we complete.o.

Yes — restoration is included in your quote, not an add-on. Our drywall and paint team patches every access cut, blends ceiling texture (knockdown, stipple, or smooth), colour-matches your existing paint, and finishes with primer plus two coats of premium latex. Most Central Alberta clients tell us they can't identify where the cuts were made once we leave. If you'd prefer full-wall repaints for a cleaner finished look, we offer that as an optional upgrade. Either way, your home is returned move-in clean — not contractor-clean.
