How to Tell if Your Home Has Poly-B Pipe
To check if your home has Poly-B piping, start by looking for gray-colored plastic pipes in exposed areas like the basement, near your water heater, or under sinks. Poly-B pipes are typically stamped with the marking "PB" followed by numbers. Another clue is to check your home’s construction records if available, as they might indicate what type of plumbing was used. If you're unsure or concerned about the condition of your pipes, our professional plumbers can inspect your home to confirm whether you have Poly-B piping and assess if replacement is necessary.
