Whether you are buying a new home or maintaining your existing home, a thorough plumbing home inspection could prevent you from spending money on costly repairs by identifying potential problems before they become a problem. Plumbing home inspections should include:
- Looking for signs of water damage throughout the home
- Camera inspections of drain systems
- Testing water pipes for adequate pressure
- Visual inspection of water in drainpipes throughout the home
- Draining and refilling the water heater to avoid calcium buildup in the bottom of the tank
- Checking plumbing fixtures for leaks
- Ensuring proper accessibility and functionality of water shut off valve
- Inspecting the outside sewer line underground to ensure there is no root intrusion or broken joints
All of these inspection items are important to ensure maximum life expectancy of your plumbing systems, both inside and outside of your home, and prevent future damage from plumbing leaks or burst pipes. A plumbing home inspection could make all the difference in your decision to purchase a new home. For your existing home, a plumbing home inspection could help you decide when to schedule plumbing maintenance to avoid future plumbing emergencies.
