Poly-B plumbing was installed in Calgary-area homes from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s. When a plumber does a full re-pipe or repairs a failed fitting in an Arbour Lake home, the job leaves cut-outs in walls and ceilings. Arbour Lake homes from the late 1980s and early 1990s have significant poly-B plumbing density. Homes from the mid-1990s onward were increasingly built with copper or early PEX. We come in after the Arbour Lake plumber is done and inspections have passed, close every opening, tape to Level 4 and texture match — the re-pipe is invisible when we leave. We cover Arbour Lake, Scenic Acres, Crowfoot and Citadel and surrounding communities, 7 days a week.

Read our reviews on GoogleIn an established area like Arbour Lake the original finish is usually still on the wall, which makes matching the existing texture the deciding factor in how the poly-b repair is approached.
Ceilings here are typically knockdown, and matching that spray pattern is the part people notice if it is done badly — so we test the match before committing to the whole ceiling.
A lot of the work in Arbour Lake starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing and ducting above it.
