Maple Ridge grew substantially during the 1980s and 1990s as families moved east along the Fraser Valley corridor. Neighbourhoods like Albion, Websters Corners, and Silver Valley contain large volumes of single-family housing built during the Poly B era. The city's more rural character means many homes have larger footprints with crawl spaces — a configuration where Poly B failure can be especially costly before it's discovered.
Maple Ridge's Poly B Distribution
Albion is perhaps the highest-concentration neighbourhood for Poly B in Maple Ridge — heavily developed in the late 80s and early 90s with a high percentage of homes still on original plumbing. The Websters Corners area, developed slightly later, has more variable results. Silver Valley's older sections (those developed pre-2000) are worth inspecting.
Maple Ridge's semi-rural character also means many homes have crawl spaces under the main floor — sometimes large, sometimes poorly maintained — where Poly B runs are exposed to temperature fluctuation and moisture without regular monitoring. We've seen advanced degradation in Maple Ridge crawl spaces where the Poly B has been sitting in a damp, unventilated environment for decades.
- Albion: highest Poly B concentration in Maple Ridge
- Websters Corners: variable — inspection required
- Silver Valley pre-2000: inspection recommended
- Crawl spaces often in poor condition — combined vapour barrier upgrade recommended
- Larger home footprints mean more pipe to replace — scope accordingly
