Do you have a Poly-B problem?

Three questions. No name, no email, no sales call. Just an honest read on where you stand — and what it takes to make your insurer happy again.

Question 01 / 03

When was your home built?

Awaiting readings

Answer the three questions and we'll show you exactly where your plumbing stands.

The diagnosis · why now

Why your insurer suddenly cares about your pipes

Poly-B — the grey plastic supply line — went into most Calgary homes built between 1985 and 1997. It degrades from the inside and can fail with no warning. In 2026 that stopped being a slow maintenance question and became an insurance one.

Alberta's major carriers are now sending non-renewal and conditional-renewal notices: replace the Poly-B by a deadline and document it, or coverage lapses. They want full replacement — not a patch — and PEX is the material every major Alberta insurer accepts. That's exactly what we install.

Your "clean bill of health" — built for the adjuster

The specialists hand you new pipe and walk away. The thing your insurer actually needs is proof. Every Plumber MD Poly-B job closes with a documented completion pack — what was removed, what PEX-A replaced it, warranty registration, and photos — so restoring your coverage is a formality, not a fight.

PEX-A, done properly

Full conversion from Poly-B to PEX-A water distribution — the material insurers accept — carrying a 25-year manufacturer warranty on every job.

The estimate is the price

Our quote is what you pay — full stop. Customers say it themselves: the estimate matched the final bill, on time, no surprises. That's the whole reputation.

Tidy, and out of your way

We plan the water-off window around your household, work clean, and put your home back together — you're dealing with a two-person family shop, not a crew you'll never see again.

A father-and-son red-seal shop — the part a franchise can't copy.
