Poly B pipe replacement
Not sure if this was discussed some where here as I couldnt find much information on it. However looking for advice or anyone that may either have replaced all of their poly B grey water piping or perhaps knows a good plumber that can do this stuff at a reasonable cost and quality
So it started with my good neighbors who was looking into replacing all of his poly B early this year, reason is that our pipes are 25 years old, and more and more insurance companies are now avoiding or costing a premium to cover this stuff. My own home insurance is with TD and after they continuously jacking up prices year after year my home insurance will be up to 2400 this year from 2000 last year. I had a friend who works with All-State and he says if I switch over to them my home could be knocked down to 1157 / year on the condition that I have to replace all the grey pipping stuff within 12 months.
The things I hear from my neighbor's own investigation was that, some of the quotes to replace all of the pipes were between 5000-7000 dollars for a 1500-2000sqf house. However later he had a quote from Peter the plumber who initially gave him quote for around 6000 (only replacement not refilling or fixing the drywalls), later turned into 18k because they started to point out all other issues and had to replace other stuff related to plumbing.
My neighbors is planning to wait until next year because the hot real estate market isnt helping as he cant even get a good appointment scheduled up properly and he senses a lot of these companies are intentionally giving high estimates because they are too busy or cannot commit.
So it really has got me thinking about replacing all my own poly B stuff.
