Poly B is the grey plastic supply pipe stamped PB2110 that went into Canadian homes from 1978 until roughly 1995. It was designed for about 25 years of service, which means every system still in the ground in Horseshoe Bay is past it.
Horseshoe Bay is genuinely mixed — some houses are far too old for Poly B and some are squarely in the window, sometimes next door to each other.
It fails from the inside out — chlorine in the municipal supply makes the pipe wall brittle, and the original grey acetal fittings are the weakest point in the whole system. Nothing about that is visible until water appears somewhere it should not.
We replace the lot in PEX-A, plan the routes first so we open as few walls as possible, and finish with the permit, the inspection record and photographs.
