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 Tsawwassen is past it.
A good share of Tsawwassen housing sits inside the Poly B window, particularly the seventies-through-nineties infill around Beach Grove and English Bluff.
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.

How Poly B replacement works →A lot of Tsawwassen filled in from the 1960s through the 90s, so the Poly B window covers a meaningful slice of the housing here.
Close to Boundary Bay the ground sits low and the water table is high, which puts real load on sump pumps through the wet season.
