There are many factors that affect the cost of removing polybutylene or poly-b plumbing. Some factors include, the number of fixtures in your house, the size of your house, the accessibility of your plumbing, if the poly-b pipes are connected to your heating system, and a lot more.

It's tough to give an exact cost for poly-b removal since there are so many factors involved. But if we give you an estimate cost for a typical-single family home with a few poly-b pipes, the removal cost will start at $4,000 and go up to $12,000 for a more high-end and complex job. For larger houses with a lot of fixtures, the average removal cost is around $8,000 to $15,000.

On top of that, there are 2 phases of poly-b removal. The first phase is to remove the drywall so the plumbers have access to the pipes and then repipe them with a new material. The second phase is the re-installation of the drywall, painting, and clean up. This will add to the cost that would be around $4,000 to $10,000.

Removing your poly-b piping is a big investment, but it's worth it in the long run. The cost of water damage, flooding, not being able to get house insurance, and not having peace of mind is a lot more than the cost of removal. If you wait for a flood to happen before you act, the cost of damage will be a lot higher because you will have to pay for the repairs and the removal all at once.

You also need to keep in mind that the general cost mentioned in this video is based on the average poly-b plumbing removal cost in the Lower Mainland. It might be in the same range for other cities in Canada, but the cost can vary depending on where you live.
