Why Poly-B Piping Should Be Replaced Immediately in Nanaimo Homes

Polybutylene piping, commonly known as Poly-B, was a popular material used in homes built between the 1970s and 1990s. However, this material has been proven to have significant flaws, leading to plumbing issues for many Nanaimo and Parksville homeowners. Poly-B piping is prone to cracking, especially when exposed to chlorine-treated water, which is common in municipal water systems. Over time, these cracks can result in leaks or even pipe bursts, causing significant water damage and expensive repairs. Many insurance companies now refuse to cover homes with Poly-B piping due to its high failure rate, leaving homeowners at risk.

Replacing Poly-B with modern PEX piping is a smart investment that ensures durability, flexibility, and long-term peace of mind.
