Residential Plumbing Inspection
Residential plumbing inspections are thorough examinations of your home’s water systems. We identify potential problems, safety hazards, and areas that require upgrades. A professional inspector who understands current building standards performs this essential service.
What We Check During a Residential Plumbing Inspection
Our comprehensive process involves several key steps to ensure your home is safe and dry.
1. Checking the Water Supply
First, we inspect the water supply source. We check pressure and flow rates to ensure they meet recommended functional standards. Proper pressure protects your pipes from stress and damage.
2. Inspecting Fixtures and Appliances
We operate all plumbing fixtures, such as sinks, toilets, showers, and tubs. We look for functional flow, proper drainage, and surface leaks. Additionally, we inspect water heaters. For more on efficient water heating, you can visit Energy.gov.
3. Examining the Drainage System
A healthy home needs effective waste removal. We inspect the drainage system to ensure it functions correctly without blockages. We visually examine visible waste and vent pipes for damage or improper installation.
4. Inspecting the Pipes
We check visible pipes for signs of damage, corrosion, or active leaks. Identifying these early can save you thousands in water damage repairs.
Compliance and Safety
We ensure the visible plumbing system complies with general safety standards. We look for common violations or safety hazards. For a deeper look at water efficiency and leak prevention, check out the EPA WaterSense guide.
