Why Should I Get A Plumbing Inspection?

05/23/23

Plumbing inspections are preventative rather than a cure, which means that a lot of homeowners don’t consider them until after they’ve been met with a plumbing problem.

As with everything, prevention is better than cure. Here’s why you should book it sooner rather than later.

Why Plumbing Inspections Are Important

There are a number of benefits to routine plumbing inspections, but there are two core advantages:

a. They Can Help Prevent Unexpected Repairs

Plumbing problems can be a seriously costly issue to repair.

Wear and tear is to be expected, especially when you’re using something frequently. Your shower, toilet, and sink, for example, are all routinely used every single day, so the probability of something going wrong is higher. Regular plumbing inspections mean that you can capture a leak as soon as it starts to form, reducing the safety risk as well as the amount of damage that has been caused.

b. Inspect Before Purchasing A New Home

Plumbing often is way down on the priority list when looking for a new home, but this could be a mistake. Book a plumbing inspection to rule out any potential additional costs. You’re already paying for a new property: the repairs shouldn’t be on you, too!

Plumbing Inspections Find Hidden Issues

Some plumbing problems are hidden, and with no symptoms to spot, you might not see them until it’s too late. Routine plumbing inspections will find hidden issues before they escalate, giving you time to solve them before they cost more to fix.

 

Plumbing Inspections And Leaks

When you have a plumbing inspection, a certified and professional member of our team will check for any hidden leaks, corrosion, and damage.

Plumbing Inspections And Financial Savings

It’s clear that if you act on prevention rather than cure, it’s far more cost-effective. Plumbing inspections allow you peace of mind as well as a much more positive financial impact.

Research proves that homeowners are spending up to $6000 on repairs in their homes every year. However, scheduling routine plumbing inspections reduces the likelihood of the plumbing problem evolving into something that needs a “big fix.”

Plumbing Inspections And Air Conditioners For Spring

Spring is the ideal season to get your air conditioners inspected, which comes as part of our plumbing inspection. An inspection for your air conditioner allows your AC to be working at maximum capacity while saving money on your energy bills as well as improving air quality and increasing your AC’s lifespan.

What To Expect When You Have A Plumbing Inspection

So, what does a plumbing inspection look like? How does a plumbing inspection take place? Here’s exactly what to expect during a plumbing inspection.

  1. Your property’s entire plumbing system will be inspected.
  2. Your plumbing inspector will search for any clogs and leaks, as well as look for any damage to your pipes, which could cause problems later on.
  3. On top of pipe damage, your inspector will also look for any corrosion or problems with your fixtures and connections.

What Components Are Looked At During A Plumbing Inspection?

While your plumbing inspection takes place, your inspector will look at key elements in your home that could convey a deeper plumbing issue. These include:

  • Your toilet
  • Your sinks
  • Your bathtubs and/or showers
  • Your water heater
  • Your main line

Each of the components above will be inspected carefully before producing a report that outlines any findings and the current health of each element.

Your toilet, sinks, tubs, and showers are checked for leaks and drainage problems. On top of this, a good plumbing inspection will survey the well-being of the pipes, searching for evidence of corrosion.

The water heater is also inspected for leaks. However, when performing a plumbing inspection, the water heater is also studied for any buildup of sediment, and a temperature and pressure check takes place to make sure everything is working as it should be.

Finally, your main line will reveal a large number of potential plumbing problems. Checking for any build-up in your pipes (sludge, debris, etc.) as well as anything that may be causing blockages (foreign objects and tree roots are often the perpetrators) allows us to take a detailed look at your property’s plumbing and put it under a microscope.

Scheduling plumbing inspections once a year is a far more cost-effective and safe way to maintain your property. Plumbing repairs can be extremely expensive. When plumbing problems get out of hand, they can cause irreversible damage to your possessions and can even be a safety hazard.

While so many homeowners wait for a plumbing problem to crop up before acting, savvy homeowners schedule routine plumbing inspections, so they don’t need to face the stress, pressure, and costs involved in plumbing repairs.

In the world of plumbing, prevention is always better than cure!
