Poly B pipe replacement done properly in Okotoks

If your Okotoks home was built between roughly 1985 and 1997, there is a real chance the grey plastic supply lines running through the walls are Polybutylene, commonly called Poly B. Poly B was approved in Canada for residential water supply until the late 1990s and was then quietly withdrawn after a wave of failures and a class-action settlement. The pipe itself degrades from exposure to chlorinated municipal water, the fittings creep and crack, and the wall thickness is not what modern PEX delivers. Right On! Plumbing & Heating replaces Poly B with modern PEX across Okotoks, High River, and Heritage Pointe.

Why insurers care about Poly B

Most Alberta insurers now ask about Poly B at policy renewal. Some will refuse a new policy on a Poly B home. Others will write the policy but exclude water-damage coverage from a Poly B failure. A few will give you thirty days to replace it. None of this is theoretical. We get calls every week from Okotoks homeowners whose renewal letter just landed and who have a deadline.

What a Poly B replacement actually involves

We map out the supply runs from the manifold, water heater, and main to every fixture in the home. We open small access points in drywall where needed, pull new PEX through the same routes wherever possible, and connect with proper expansion fittings or crimp rings. Fixtures are reconnected with new shut-offs and new supply lines. The new system is pressure tested before drywall closes back up. We coordinate with drywall and paint or hand off cleanly to your trades.

Pricing, timeline, and financing

Most Okotoks single-family Poly B jobs are quoted as a flat-rate project after a walkthrough, not by the hour. Timelines range from two to five days depending on home size and access. We offer 0% financing through Financeit so the project can be paid over time instead of all at once. The quote is in writing before any work starts.

Related work we often combine with Poly B

While the walls are open, it often makes sense to also handle water heater replacement, leak detection on any suspect lines, and general plumbing repairs that were already on the to-do list. One mobilization, one cleanup, one invoice.
