Pre-Purchase Plumbing Inspections in Orillia & North Bay — Know What You’re Buying
A cracked sewer line, outdated shutoffs, or hidden water damage can cost thousands — and most home inspections won’t catch it.
That’s why Poly-B Plumbing offers licensed, pre-purchase plumbing inspections for homes and cottages in Orillia, North Bay, and surrounding areas. We assess the entire plumbing system — so you can make a smart, informed decision before closing the deal.
Why You Need a Licensed Plumbing Inspection
General home inspectors check basics — but they’re not plumbers.
We go deeper, inspecting everything from main drains and water heaters to pipe material, venting, pressure, and fixture function.
Our goal? Spot hidden risks, aging parts, or future costs before you move in.
