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 a D’Arcy home, the job leaves cut-outs in walls and ceilings. D’Arcy was built with copper or PEX plumbing. Plumbing repair patches here are small scope. We come in after the D’Arcy 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 D’Arcy, Crystal Shores, Air Ranch and Sheep River Ridge and surrounding communities, 7 days a week.
