Poly-B, Kitec & older pipe replacement in Oyama
Oyama has the largest share of pre-1960 homes in Lake Country (13%), so a repipe here often deals with original supply lines as well as Poly-B or Kitec. We trace what's actually in your walls, then replace it with PEX.

Quick answer
For Poly-B, Kitec or old pipe replacement in Oyama, call Anderson Plumbing and Gas Fitting at (250) 859-3548. We trace every supply run before quoting, replace mixed and patched systems with PEX, and finish with photos and an itemised invoice.
The District of Lake Country's ward profiles show Oyama with the largest share of homes built before 1960 of any ward in the District, and the largest share needing major repairs.
In a house that old, the plumbing is rarely one material. Original lines, a Poly-B section from a past renovation and newer pipe elsewhere can all be joined together. Poly-B and Kitec tend to fail at their fittings, and older metal supply lines can corrode and narrow on the inside. We trace every run before quoting, so the price covers the whole system rather than just the pipe you can see.
Plumbing permits in Oyama go through the District of Lake Country, and we tell you what your repipe needs at the quote. The Kitec class action claims deadline has passed.

Before we get there
How to tell if you have Poly-B or Kitec pipe
Poly-B is a flexible grey plastic pipe, usually visible where it enters a water heater or under sinks; Kitec is aluminum-core plastic pipe with brass fittings, often blue or orange. Homes built from the mid-1970s to about 2007 can have one or the other, so it's worth checking. Call Anderson Plumbing and Gas Fitting at (250) 859-3548 if you're not sure.

“Excellent workmanship. Dylan replaced 100% of the Poly b plumbing in my mobile home plus installing the gas and water lines to the new hot water heater. Dylan communicated every step and completed the work on time. The quote was very reasonable and he stayed on budget. I absolutely recommend Dylan for any plumbing and gas fitting needs. Working under a mobile home is an awful experience and he was a true professional from start to finish. Thanks again Dylan”
Questions, answered
Do you work in Oyama?
Yes. Oyama is part of the District of Lake Country, and we cover all of it from our base in north Kelowna.
My Oyama house is from the 1960s. Could it have Poly-B?
It could, if it was replumbed or added onto during a later renovation. Older homes often have several kinds of pipe, which is why we trace the whole system before quoting.
Who issues the plumbing permit in Oyama?
The District of Lake Country. We tell you what your job needs when we quote it.
Can we stay in the house during a repipe?
Usually, yes. Water is off for parts of some days, we tell you when in advance, and openings are patched as each section is finished.
