What Insurance Companies Are Saying

Poly-B is now classified as a high-risk material by many insurers. That means:

  • 🚫 Coverage may be denied on homes with Poly-B
  • πŸ’° Premiums are often much higher due to flood risk
  • 🏠 Some providers require full re-pipes before renewing a policy

πŸ‘‰ If you're selling, buyers may walk away.

πŸ‘‰ If you're staying, you could face higher costsβ€”or no coverage at all.
