Homeowners can request a plumbing inspection at any time, but it is especially prudent to arrange inspections on an annual basis and when purchasing a new home.

Many homeowners schedule an annual plumbing inspection to keep up with preventive maintenance and ensure that the home’s plumbing is in good working order. A full inspection can help to pinpoint potential plumbing problems that can save money, time, and damage. Annual inspections are also a great way to keep track of appliances like hot water tanks, inspection the back water value and testing your main shut off valve.

When purchasing a new home, there is always a home inspector that will perform a building inspection and deliver a report. However, the report may not provide new buyers with costs associated with repairs and can miss some potential issues.

It is always a good idea to schedule an independent plumbing inspection outside of the homeowners’ inspection. Many plumbers will review the full inspection and can make recommendations on the cost of potential repairs giving new home buyers a full picture of what they are getting into with the home.

Having a plumber perform a plumbing inspection of your home plumbing system will help you bring up problems with your realtor before you make your purchase.

Remodeling / Renovations

When you are remodeling your home, a homeowner should consider getting their pipes checked. When making any structural work or remodeling your home, even if the pipes are not moved, having your plumbing inspected will save you lots of money in the future.

One of the most important areas of your home to have inspected is the basement. All the drains in your home all connect to the basement plumbing. Inspecting all your floor drains before starting any renovations is key. If any underground pipes need to be replaced, it is best to do this work before adding new floors and avoid having water damages in the future. It is always a great idea to inspection your drains after completing the work, in case there were any debris that fell into the drains.
