How much does Poly-B repiping cost in Metro Vancouver?
Most houses: $11,989–$19,989. Small or simple: from $7,989. Large or complicated: $29,989 or more. Typical prices in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley in 2026, before tax. They are a guide, not our quote. Too much depends on your home to price these jobs unseen, so your price is set on site, in writing, before any work starts.
How do I know if I have Poly-B?
Look at the water heater and under the sinks. Poly-B is grey, flexible plastic pipe, usually stamped PB2110, with copper or plastic crimp fittings. It was installed from the late 1970s to the mid 1990s.
Why are insurers concerned about it?
It becomes brittle with age and fails at the fittings without warning. Many insurers charge more, limit water damage cover or decline homes that still have it.
Does all of it have to be replaced?
For insurance purposes, usually yes. A partial job leaves the same risk in the walls and rarely satisfies an insurer.
Is the estimate free?
No. A Pure Mechanical Group plumber comes out, looks at the job and gives you a written estimate. Approve it and the $269 comes off the price. If you do not go ahead, the fee covers the visit.
What if you find something unexpected once work starts?
The estimate is based on what can be seen. Anything found once a wall, floor or the ground is open is shown to you, priced and approved before it is done.
