Poly B and Home Insurance in Calgary: Questions to Ask Your Broker

Poly B can become an insurance question because insurers assess water-damage risk differently. Requirements are not identical across every insurer or policy, so homeowners should avoid assuming that one company's rule applies everywhere.

Questions worth asking

Ask your broker whether your current insurer has any Poly B restrictions, whether replacement affects eligibility or premiums, what documentation they want after replacement, and whether they require invoices, photographs, permits, or confirmation from a licensed plumbing contractor.

Buying or renewing coverage

If you are purchasing a home with Poly B or renewing coverage, disclose the plumbing information accurately and ask for the insurer's requirements in writing. That reduces surprises later.

Documentation after replacement

Keep the project invoice, material information, photos where available, and any inspection or testing documentation. These records can be useful for insurance, resale, and your own maintenance history.
