Poly B Replacement Port Moody BC

Poly B Replacement — Port Moody

Replacing Poly B in Port Moody Homes

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 Port Moody is past it.

Heritage Mountain and Klahanie are the Poly B addresses in Port Moody; Moody Centre is generally old enough to have missed it.

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.

About Port Moody Homes

Why Port Moody Has So Much of It

Heritage Mountain was built through the late 1980s and 90s and is squarely in the Poly B window. Moody Centre is a good deal older and more mixed.

The hillside neighbourhoods run colder and windier than the inlet, and the exposed runs are usually the first to freeze.

FAQs

Poly B Replacement in Port Moody — Questions

It routinely comes up in the inspection report and gets negotiated against the price — often for more than the replacement would have cost. Replacing beforehand removes the bargaining chip and widens your buyer pool to people whose insurer will not write a Poly B home.

"It has not leaked yet" is not a measure of condition. Poly B degrades from the inside and the cracking that causes a failure is invisible from outside the pipe. Most people we work with are replacing because of an insurance renewal or a pending sale, not because of an existing leak.

Look at the supply lines where they enter your hot water tank, then under the sinks and in the crawlspace. Poly B is grey or blue-grey flexible plastic, stamped PB2110 every few feet. If it is grey and it bends by hand, that is almost certainly it. Here is the full identification guide.

It tracks build date rather than postcode, so the answer is wherever the housing went up between 1978 and 1995. In Port Moody that means Heritage Mountain, Klahanie, Glenayre are all worth checking, but the reliable test is the age of the house rather than the street it is on.

Yes. A whole-home repipe is permitted work in British Columbia and has to be done by a licensed plumber to the BC Plumbing Code. In Port Moody that permit goes through the City of Port Moody. We pull it and arrange the inspection — and that paperwork matters later, because an insurer or a buyer’s lawyer will ask to see it.
