What’s Included in Our Plumbing Inspections
We inspect every major plumbing system in your home:
✅ Pipes & Water Lines
We check for signs of corrosion, slow leaks, water pressure issues, and pipe material type (especially important in older homes).
✅ Water Heaters
We assess safety valves, age, signs of rust, and functionality — and let you know if a replacement is due.
✅ Toilets, Faucets & Fixtures
We look for leaks, water flow issues, loose fittings, and internal wear.
✅ Drains & Sewer Lines
We inspect drainage flow and recommend camera inspections if needed (for root intrusions or blockages).
✅ Sump Pumps & Flood Protection
Basement flood prevention systems are tested for response time, condition, and power backup.
✅ Shut-Off Valves & Main Line
We make sure your emergency shut-offs are functional and accessible — a key safety feature.

FAQ: Plumbing Inspections
Q: How long does a whole home plumbing inspection take?
Most inspections take 1–2 hours, depending on the home’s size, age, and access to fixtures and mechanicals.
Q: What exactly do you check during the inspection?
We assess visible supply and drain lines, shut-off valves, water pressure, drainage performance, toilets, faucets, fixtures, water heater safety/age/condition, sump pump operation, and signs of leaks or corrosion. We’ll also flag code or safety issues common in older homes.
Q: Do you provide a written report?
Yes. You’ll receive a clear summary of what we inspected, what’s working well, and recommended repairs or preventive maintenance.
Q: Can I schedule this before buying a house?
Absolutely—pre-purchase plumbing inspections are very common and can prevent costly surprises after closing.
Q: Is this the same as a general home inspection?
No. A general home inspection is broad; our plumbing inspection is deeper and trade-specific, focusing on piping materials/condition, fixtures, valves, drainage, and the water heater. Many buyers do both.
Q: Do you check sewer lines with a camera?
If drain performance suggests a blockage or root intrusion, we’ll recommend a sewer camera inspection as an add-on and can arrange it.
Q: Can you test my water pressure and advise on solutions?
Yes—we measure static and dynamic pressure and can recommend pressure-reducing valves, expansion tanks, or other corrections if needed.
Q: Do you look for lead or outdated piping?
We identify visible pipe materials and flag potential lead, galvanized steel, or other outdated materials, then explain your replacement options.
Q: Will you give estimates if you find issues?
Yes—after the report, we can provide repair/replacement estimates and a prioritized plan so you can budget intelligently.
Q: Do you serve condos and multi-unit buildings?
Yes—we inspect single-family homes, condos, and small multi-unit properties. For larger/common systems, coordination with the association may be needed.Schedule a Whole Home Plumbing Inspection Today
