Do Brampton homes have Poly B, and should it be replaced?
The straight answer
Many do. About 28 percent of Brampton’s housing stock was built in the 1978 to 1998 Poly B window, and the Bramalea-era and 80s subdivisions run much higher: Heart Lake South 88 percent, County Court 79, Professors Lake and Sheridan 72. Confirm the pipe first, then plan a full documented replacement.
The longer version
Brampton grew in waves, and two of them landed squarely in the Poly B years: about 25,000 homes went up in the 1980s and another 26,000 in the 1990s, roughly 28 percent of today’s housing stock in the 1978 to 1998 window. The concentration is highest in the neighbourhoods of that era, led by Heart Lake South at 88 percent, County Court at 79, and N-section (Bramalea), Professors Lake and Sheridan at 72. The Brampton neighbourhood profiles rate all 53 areas, and the city profile has the construction breakdown.
Era is only a signal. Check the pipe itself with the identification guide; if it is Poly B, the replacement process walks through what a full repipe involves and the paperwork insurers will ask to see afterwards.
