The Maple Ridge crew that repipes and puts the walls back
Maple Ridge grew hard through the late 80s and 90s, and Cottonwood led a lot of that build-out. Those were peak Poly B years, so if your home there or in the older West and East Maple Ridge core dates from then, odds are good 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 Maple Ridge homes have Poly B
Poly B was the standard supply pipe in Canadian homes from roughly 1978 to 1997, and Maple Ridge's biggest stretch of growth landed right in that window. Whole streets in Cottonwood and the older core were plumbed with it before it was pulled from the national plumbing code in 2005 for cracking and failing as it ages.
There is a local twist worth knowing. Most of Maple Ridge drinks Metro Vancouver water piped from the Coquitlam Lake reservoir, a treated surface source that carries a disinfectant residual through the lines. Treated water like that is harder on old Poly B over the decades than gentle groundwater. The real clock, though, is age: a 30-year-old line is living on borrowed time no matter what comes out of the tap.
We see grey pipe constantly in:
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.
Newer Albion and Silver Valley
A lot of Albion and Silver Valley went up after 2000, past the Poly B era, so those homes are usually clear. If yours is an early-90s pocket or you are unsure, we will confirm it on the free estimate before you spend a dollar.
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.
