Signs You Need to Repipe Your Home

Once your home’s piping breaks down enough, it will start to cause a host of problems. The key to preventing major damage caused by outdated or damaged piping is having it replaced before it is too late. At Cardinal Plumbing & Electric, we recommend becoming familiar with the signs that your home’s piping needs to be upgraded.

Below are signs you need to schedule whole-home repiping in Peterborough:

  • You have repaired several leaks in the last few years
  • You experience frequent clogged toilets, sinks, or showers
  • Your water is discolored (brown, red, or yellow)
  • Your pipes are visibly corroded
  • You have low water pressure
  • Your pipes make loud rattling or banging sounds
  • Your water tastes funky

If the time for repiping has come, turn to Cardinal Plumbing & Electric. Our plumbing team makes the repiping process as easy as can be.

Reasons Why You Need to Replace Your Poly-B Piping

If your home was built between the early 70s and the early 90s, chances are that you have Poly-B (polybutylene) piping. This was once a very popular type of piping installed in homes because it is cheap, flexible, and easy to install; however, after over a decade of installing this type of piping, plumbers began to realize the downside of it.

Below are 6 reasons why you should replace your Poly-B piping:

  • It only lasts between 10 and 15 years
  • It corrodes over time and causes pipe leaks, flooding, water damage, and mold growth
  • The fittings are made out of plastic, which is prone to breakage
  • It is easily damaged by high water pressure or water temperatures
  • It is no longer an approved piping under the National Plumbing Code
  • It is harder to insure homes with this type of piping

Poly-B piping is made out of low-quality materials that are not meant to last. If you have this kind of piping in your home, you are likely either already experiencing frequent plumbing issues or you will be soon enough. To protect your home, we recommend having it replaced as soon as possible.

How to Tell If You Have Poly-B Piping

Most Poly-B piping is grey, although it can sometimes be black, white, or blue. Check under your sinks, by your water meter or around your hot water tank to see if you have any grey piping. If your basement is unfinished or you have exposed piping, you can check there as well. Poly-B often has plastic fittings and is often identifiable by the markings printed on the walls of the piping (“PB2110” or “CSA-B 137.8.”).

If you aren’t sure what type of piping you have in your home, we recommend reaching out to Cardinal Plumbing & Electric. Our team will inspect your system and help you make a plan for replacement.

Is Poly-B the Same as PEX?

No. PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) piping is made of much better materials than Poly-B piping, which means it is far more durable. PEX is manufactured differently and is much better suited for your home’s plumbing because it can withstand heat, pressure, and trace chemicals.
