What is Poly B piping and should I replace it?

Polybutylene Poly-B is usually a grey plastic pipe commonly used for residential plumbing in the 1970s and early 1990s. While it was originally thought to be a cost-effective alternative to copper, it has since been found to be prone to failure, particularly in areas with higher water pressure or chlorine levels.

The importance of Polybutylene pipe replacement cannot be overstated, as it can lead to significant water damage. Poly B pipes can rupture, causing massive water damage or have pin-hole leaks and micro-fissures that go unnoticed and cause mould behind the walls and ceilings of your home. The subsequent water damage can lead to costly repairs, and many insurance companies are re-evaluating coverage on homes where Poly B is still installed.

If you want to avoid costly repairs down the road, you may want to consider replacing your Poly-B piping.
