Sounds like 90% of the calls I get. [] Like the others have stated, only you can make the call. I did a house a few weeks ago that had PB in it, the sellers paid to have the whole home re-plumbed. I heard through the grapevine that bill was about 3k. Not the end of the world of you really want the house. But what about radiant system? how much it will take to replace the poly-b pipes there? a whole lot i guess.

If the radiant system is PolyB tubing, I would suggest you look for another home. Nother thing, don't blame yourself for scheduling your last minute inspection..reeltours and their inspection team like it that way. Next time consult an independent inspector who will work for you and not the reeltur. Good Luck, Thanks for the reply. Could you elaborate more about why the poly-b radiant system is bad? cost too much to maintain or it's sth permanently damaged?

We like that house, but not a have-to-have thing. I appreciate opinions from your professional point of view. Thanks.

HI didn't really mention the known problems, he only mentioned the radiant system using with poly-b need regular maintenance (flushing + addictive) or add a oxygen barrier(?). I did some research on-line and found that this poly-b could be a potential problem. Was my bad to schedule an inspection so close to deadline.

Hi all, In a market of buying a house, but after inspection, it turns out it has poly-b piping system (with copper fitting and crisp) for both water main and radiant heat. The house was built in 1996. Should I avoid this house? I'm living in Vancouver, BC. The deadline of subject removal date is today! Your professional feedback is highly appreciated!
