The Chilliwack crew that repipes and finishes the walls

A lot of Chilliwack grew up in the late 80s and 90s, which is exactly the window when builders ran Poly B through new homes. If your place in Sardis, Vedder Crossing, Promontory or Garrison went up then, there is a strong chance grey pipe is feeding your taps. We take it out, replace it with code-approved PE-RT or PEX piping, and leave the walls looking like we were never there. We install modern, code-approved polyethylene-based potable water distribution piping, including PE-RT or PEX, depending on project requirements.

The price we put in writing covers the whole job: removing the Poly B, running new lines, repairing the drywall and painting. No holes left for you to deal with.

Why so many Chilliwack homes have Poly B

Poly B was the standard supply pipe in Canada from roughly 1978 to 1997, and the Chilliwack building boom dropped it into thousands of homes across the valley floor and up onto Promontory. It was pulled from the plumbing code in 2005 because it cracks and fails as it ages.

Chilliwack is a bit unusual: your water comes from the Sardis-Vedder aquifer and carries only a low chlorine residual, so the water is easy on plumbing. The problem here is age, not chemistry. A 30-year-old Poly B line is living on borrowed time no matter how clean the water is.

We see it constantly in:

How to spot Poly B

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

Acreage homes

Out in Greendale, Yarrow and Rosedale, homes often sit on wells with long supply runs. We map the full system from the pressure tank in and quote it flat, so pressure stays strong at every fixture after the repipe.

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. A single burst line can run past $15,000 in damage. Replacing the pipe clears the flag. Bring us the letter and we will quote a timeline that fits the deadline.

Poly B replacement in Chilliwack: common questions

Which Chilliwack neighbourhoods are most likely to have Poly B?

The Sardis, Vedder Crossing, Promontory and Garrison Crossing subdivisions that filled in through the late 80s and 90s are prime candidates, along with Fairfield Island and many of the acreage homes out in Greendale, Yarrow and Rosedale. Poly B left the Canadian plumbing code in 2005, so anything newer is usually clear. Look for grey flexible pipe stamped PB2110 at the hot water tank.

Does Chilliwack's aquifer water affect Poly B?

Chilliwack draws its water from the Sardis-Vedder aquifer and treats it with only a low chlorine residual, so the water itself is gentle compared with chlorinated surface-water systems. That does not make Poly B safe here. The pipe still gets brittle with age, hot water and pressure, and most Chilliwack failures we see come down to a home that is simply 30 years past the install date.

I farm or live on an acreage. Does that change anything?

Often the pipe runs are longer and the home may be on a private well rather than city water. We map the full system, including the line from the pressure tank, and quote the whole thing flat. Long runs are no problem; we plan the new piping layout so you keep good pressure at every fixture.

Do I need a permit to replace Poly B in Chilliwack?

Yes. A repipe needs a plumbing permit from the City of Chilliwack, and we handle it along with the inspection. Having the work permitted and inspected matters when you sell and when your insurer asks for proof the Poly B is gone.

How much does Poly B replacement cost in Chilliwack?

It depends on the size of the home, the number of bathrooms, the finishes and how easy the pipe is to reach. A two-storey Promontory home and a single-level Sardis rancher are different jobs. We give you a flat written number after an on-site look, and it includes removal, the repipe, drywall repair and paint.

How long will my home be torn up?

Most Chilliwack homes are 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 each day so the house stays livable.
