The Mission crew that repipes hillside homes properly

Much of Mission's housing climbed the hillside through the late 80s and 90s, the same years builders ran Poly B as standard. If your Cedar Valley, Hatzic or Silverdale home dates from then, grey pipe is likely feeding your taps across several levels. We take it out, install modern code-approved 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 written price covers the whole job: Poly B removal, new lines, drywall repair and paint. No second trade to chase once the plumbing is finished.

Why Mission homes have Poly B, and why the hill matters

Poly B was the go-to supply pipe in Canada from roughly 1978 to 1997 and went into most Mission homes built in that stretch. It left the plumbing code in 2005 because it gets brittle and fails with age, heat and pressure.

Mission has two things working against old Poly B. First, the water: it comes mostly from Norrish Creek, a treated, chloraminated surface source run by the Abbotsford-Mission commission, and treated surface water is harder on aging pipe than gentle groundwater. Second, the terrain: hillside homes have long vertical runs, so a hidden leak can travel down through finished floors before anyone notices.

How to spot Poly B

Grey flexible pipe about the thickness of a marker, joined with crimp rings and often stamped PB2110. Check at the hot water tank, under sinks, and where the lines enter the walls between floors.

Rural and well-water homes

Out toward Stave Falls and Steelhead, many homes are on wells with long runs. We map the system from the pressure tank in and quote it flat, so pressure holds at every fixture.

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 in a multi-level home can run well past $15,000 in damage. Replacing the pipe clears the flag. Bring us the letter and we will fit a timeline to your deadline.

Poly B replacement in Mission: common questions

Which Mission neighbourhoods are most likely to have Poly B?

Cedar Valley, Hatzic, Silverdale, Ferndale and the hillside streets above Mission City core are full of late-80s and 90s homes built with Poly B. Rural properties out toward Stave Falls and Steelhead often have it too, frequently on well water. Poly B left the plumbing code in 2005. Look for grey pipe stamped PB2110 at the hot water tank.

Does Mission's water make Poly B worse?

Mission's water comes mostly from Norrish Creek, a treated surface-water source that is filtered and chloraminated through the Abbotsford-Mission Water and Sewer Commission, the same system that serves our Abbotsford base. Treated surface water carries disinfectant through the lines, and over decades that is harder on aging Poly B than gentle groundwater. Combine that with 30-year-old pipe and the failure risk climbs.

My home is on a hillside with multiple levels. Does that matter?

It does, and it is common in Mission. Multi-level hillside homes in Cedar Valley and Hatzic have longer vertical pipe runs and more places for a hidden leak to track down through finished space before you see it. We map every run and plan the new piping layout to hold pressure on the top floor as well as the bottom.

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

Yes. A repipe needs a plumbing permit from the District of Mission, and we pull it and handle the inspection. Permitted, inspected work is what your insurer and a future buyer will want to see.

How much does Poly B replacement cost in Mission?

It depends on the size of the home, the number of bathrooms, the finishes and access, and hillside homes with several levels take more planning. We give you a flat written number after an on-site look, covering removal, the repipe, drywall repair and paint.

How long does the work take?

Most Mission homes are a few days. The repipe is usually one to two days, then drywall and paint. You keep water service overnight in most cases and we clean up each day so the home stays livable.

What areas of Mission do you serve?

Mission City and the hillside, Cedar Valley, Hatzic, Silverdale, Ferndale, and out toward Stave Falls and Steelhead. Not sure if you are in range? Call (604) 616-0847.
