Whole Home Plumbing Inspections in Medford, MA
Protect Your Home With a Professional Plumbing Inspection
Plumbing problems rarely start with a disaster — they build quietly behind walls, under floors, and inside aging systems. A whole home plumbing inspection from In A Flash Heating & Plumbing helps Medford homeowners identify hidden issues early, avoid emergency repairs, and protect their investment.
Whether you’re buying a home, selling a property, or simply want peace of mind, our licensed Massachusetts plumbers provide a detailed, trade-specific inspection you can trust.
What Is a Whole Home Plumbing Inspection?
A whole home plumbing inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of your home’s plumbing systems performed by a licensed plumber — not a general home inspector. We focus on how your plumbing actually performs, identifying risks that commonly go unnoticed until damage occurs.
Our inspections are designed to uncover:
Hidden leaks and pressure issues
Aging or outdated pipe materials
Drain and sewer warning signs
Water heater safety and lifespan concerns
Code and safety red flags common in older homes
What We Inspect During Your Plumbing Checkup
Our inspection covers every major plumbing component in your home:
Pipes & Water Supply Lines
We check visible piping for corrosion, material type, joint integrity, and pressure consistency — especially important in older Medford and Greater Boston homes.
Drains & Sewer Performance
We evaluate drainage flow and identify signs of blockages, backups, or root intrusion. If needed, we’ll recommend a sewer camera inspection.
Water Heater Systems
We inspect the water heater’s age, condition, safety components, venting, and performance — and advise whether repair or replacement is approaching.
Toilets, Faucets & Fixtures
We test for leaks, improper flow, worn components, and inefficient fixtures that waste water or lead to future failures.
Sump Pumps & Flood Protection
Basement systems are tested for proper operation, response time, and backup readiness.
Main Shut-Off & Safety Valves
We confirm emergency shut-offs are functional and accessible — one of the most important safety features in any home.
When Should You Schedule a Plumbing Inspection?
A whole home plumbing inspection is strongly recommended if you are:
Buying or selling a home
Owning a property over 20 years old
Experiencing unexplained pressure drops or slow drains

Unsure of your pipe materials or system condition
