Poly B Replacement for Calgary Condos and Townhouses

Poly B in a condo or townhouse can be more complicated than in a detached home because plumbing may cross unit boundaries and responsibility can depend on the condominium plan, bylaws, and what is considered common property.

Start by defining responsibility

Before arranging major work, owners and boards should determine which piping belongs to the individual unit and which belongs to the corporation. Property managers may also need to coordinate access, shutoffs, notices, and work in common areas.

Coordinate similar units

When several units have the same plumbing layout, there can be efficiencies in assessing and planning them together. A building-wide or phased strategy may reduce disruption compared with handling every unit only after a leak or sale issue appears.

Plan documentation

For multi-unit properties, clear records of replaced piping, dates, units, materials, and contractor work are especially valuable for boards, insurers, property managers, and future buyers.
