A plumbing inspection will help you live comfortably this fall, especially if you are moving into a new home. Perhaps, on the surface, this is your dream house—cozy atmosphere, reliable lighting, and highly-efficient HVAC. However, you may be forgetting one crucial area—the plumbing fixtures. Your new home may look nice, but it may also be the site of a plumbing catastrophe. It may have leaky pipes, overflowing toilets, and a malfunctioning water heater. All of these problems add up to huge amounts of stress that will make your move-in unpleasant. Worse, when you already put so much money into buying a new home, you will have to make more out of your savings just to make sure the plumbing is in working order. It will be particularly costly if you have pipe leaks which, according to the EPA, can lose over 10,000 gallons of water in a year. If you want to ensure your dream house becomes a reality, then you need to consider a plumbing inspection before you settle in. Even just taking a quick look at the home’s fixtures may reveal serious issues that will need to be fixed by a licensed plumber. Once those issues are fixed, you can expect your move-in to go much smoother.

WHAT CAN GO WRONG WITHOUT AN INSPECTION?

Some homeowners really do not understand how pivotal even just one inspection can be to their home’s plumbing system. What they fail to realize is they risk experiencing the following:

Wasted Time: You probably want to spend some time relaxing this fall, especially if you just bought a new home. But you may lose all of that time to calling for plumbing service. Repair costs and money loss can build up quickly, leaving you in a worse financial situation than you could have imagined.
Inconvenience around the House: You rely on a water heater every day for showering, laundry, and washing the dishes. But what happens when your water heater stops working? Essential fixtures like sinks and toilets are necessary. If they malfunction, it won’t only disrupt your daily routine.
Increased Spending: Repair bills won’t be the only way you lose money. Due to lower efficiency from your fixtures, you may just wind up paying more on energy bills than necessary. If there are any leaks, you will have to pay for more water than you actually used.

4 IMPORTANT FIXTURES TO CHECK DURING A PLUMBING INSPECTION

When conducting an inspection, either by yourself or with help from one of our plumbers, make sure these fixtures are checked before anything else:

Toilets: A few small leaks from a toilet may be far worse than you realize. It can lead to water damage in the surrounding area, especially if the area around the toilet base becomes discolored or softened in any way. If not treated immediately, it will result in you seeking costly water damage restoration services. If the toilet is showing some wear and tear, you may be better off replacing it, which can help you save on water bills.
Main Sewer: Before you go ahead and purchase a home, ask the current homeowner about the last time they called for sewer maintenance. If they haven’t called in awhile, your sewer line risks experiencing some unsanitary consequences. You should call a plumber for sewer camera inspection just to be on the safe side to determine if there is any blockage or internal damage resulting in leaks.
Water Heaters: As we made clear earlier, you rely on a water heater every day to perform the most basic functions. You make a point to call for water heater maintenance annually to ensure the system is working up to par in providing hot water for a wide variety of needs. Any leaks can result both in water damage to the surrounding area, but having a professional maintain it will keep those risks down to a minimum.
Pipes: Some homeowners take their homes pipes for granted, simply because they are located underground where they are not immediately visible to the eye. However, this also means problems can go untreated and worsen. This may result in lower water pressure for plumbing fixtures, wet spots around the house, and a sudden spike in your water bills. If you are noticing any of these problems, call us for pipe repair immediately.
