Poly B Plumbing

Our Poly B Plumbing Service addresses the risks associated with outdated polybutylene (Poly B) pipes. Poly B pipes, common in homes built from the late 1970s to mid-1990s, often deteriorate over time, leading to leaks and water damage.

Left untreated, Poly B pipes threaten your home’s plumbing system and property value.

Our team starts with a full inspection to assess your Poly B pipes. We identify areas at risk of leaks or failure. We then recommend replacement with durable piping materials like PEX or copper, ensuring a more reliable plumbing system.
