HOMEOWNER’S TIP
Besides the fact that Poly B leaks, it may also impact your homeowners’ insurance. Some companies have increased water claim deductibles to $10,000 if you have Poly
B in your home, and other companies will not offer any coverage to homes with Poly B.
The damage caused by a flood and the time wasted dealing with insurance companies
far outweighs the actual cost of replacement.

WHY SHOULD I REPLACE POLY-B PIPE?
Getting all your ducks in a row with Poly-B replacement.
Poly-B is Very Risky – the chlorine from your tap water reacts with the pipes, causing
the pipes to be brittle, making it easy for them to crack or leak.
Poly-B Deteriorates From Within – It’s hard to tell from the outside if your Poly B pipes
are about to fail. The erosion works from the inside out. It’s best to replace the pipes,
even if they look okay from the outside.
Short Lifespan – Poly B pipes generally start to leak after 7-9 years. You must be proactive to save your home, and yourself, from floods, water damage, and a lot of stress.
Homes Are Hard to Sell – Homes built with Poly B piping are hard to sell because
buyers now know the upgrades that have to be made.
Not Covered by Insurance – Check with your homeowners’ insurance. Some
insurance companies won’t insure homes that have Poly B piping. If they do, premiums
are very expensive.
