Halifax's Most Common Plumbing Crises
These four issues drive 80% of our emergency calls. Know your risk based on your home's age and location.
Bedford • Clayton Park • 1995-2007
Kitec Piping
Buying or selling in B4B? Don't let Kitec kill your deal. Orange/blue pipes with brass fittings fail without warning. Insurance companies often deny coverage.
Peninsula • Dartmouth • Pre-1960
Lead Pipe Rebate
Halifax Water rebates 25% of the cost, up to $5,000, for replacing a private lead service line (Get the Lead Out program). Check halifaxwater.ca for current terms.
Sackville • Cole Harbour • 1978-1995
Poly-B Piping
The silent leak in 1980s homes. Grey plastic pipes degrade from chlorine and burst without warning. Many insurers require higher deductibles or refuse coverage.
Landlords & Property Managers
M-200 Compliance
Fines can apply. HRM Bylaw M-200 requires landlords to maintain plumbing in "good working order." This is general information, not legal advice.
