Urban Piping

Urban Piping Ltd. specialises in the remediation and full-scale replacement of Poly B™ (polybutylene) plumbing systems, along with general plumbing and restoration services. Based in Calgary, Alberta, the company covers major western Canadian cities including Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. Their track record includes more than 28,000 successful Poly B™ replacement jobs, and they offer a 25-year warranty on their work. They emphasize fixed-price contracts, no hidden fees, and in-house crews (rather than subcontractors) to control quality and timelines.

For homeowners exploring whether their home has Poly B™, the company provides detailed resources: explanation of what Poly B™ is, how to identify it, the risks (such as insurance implications, high failure rate of pipes installed circa 1985-1997), and a structured replacement pathway. Their service packages range from “Essentials” to fully managed “Full Service” options—some include drywall and paint remediation after plumbing work, others leave finishing to the homeowner.

From a practical perspective this means that if you live in one of their service areas and your home was built in the era when Poly B™ was commonly used, Urban Piping offers a “one-stop” solution: plumbing inspection, estimate, full repipe, restoration and a remediation certificate. Their A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and hundreds of five-star reviews bolster credibility. That said, pricing is clearly influenced by the size and complexity of the home, the amount of drywall restoration required, and accessibility of pipe runs. Homeowners should ask detailed questions: what is included in “fixed price”, what is the extent of restoration, warranty fine print, and what happens with drywall and paint work.

In short, Urban Piping presents as a high-expertise, niche plumbing specialist focusing on a specific high-risk plumbing material (Poly B™) and aiming to provide a comprehensive remediation service. For property owners in western Canada who suspect or know their home has Poly B™, it is a compelling option—just ensure you compare scope, pricing and local service responsiveness.
