Plumbing inspection
When buying a property, ensuring that every system is in top condition is crucial, and plumbing is no exception. Hidden plumbing issues can lead to costly repairs down the line, making a pre-purchase plumbing inspection a wise investment.
Why a plumbing inspection is essential
Our licensed plumbers provide thorough inspections to uncover hidden problems, giving you peace of mind and confidence in your property decision.
Plumbing issues often remain concealed without specialized equipment or expertise. What may look fine on the surface could be hiding serious problems such as:
- Underground water leaks
- Blocked or damaged drains
- Faulty plumbing fixtures
Avoid unexpected expenses later
Building and pest inspections can detect some moisture-related issues, but they don’t dive into the intricate plumbing systems beneath your property.
Our detailed plumbing inspections reveal hidden issues that might explain why a property is on the market—saving you from unexpected expenses later.
What we inspect
Our experienced plumbers conduct comprehensive evaluations, including:
- Water Service Testing: Pressure testing to detect leaks in underground or wall-installed pipes.
- CCTV Drain Inspections: Using advanced cameras, we inspect stormwater and sewer drains for blockages, breaks, or obstructions.
- Water Efficiency Assessments: Identifying outlets that use excessive water.
- Leak Checks: Testing toilets, taps, and other fixtures for hidden leaks.
- Hot Water Systems: Evaluating the condition, age, and compliance of hot water units, as well as checking water temperatures for safety and efficiency.
- Roof and Gutter Inspections: Examining roof plumbing, gutters, and downpipes for wear and tear.
- Safety and Compliance: Inspecting flexible connectors, tempering valves, and other essential components for safety and durability.
The value of a plumbing inspection report
After the inspection, we provide a detailed, easy-to-understand report that includes:
- A summary of inspected areas and identified issues
- High-quality photographs and video evidence
- Repair recommendations with budget estimates
This report becomes a valuable tool for negotiating with the seller. Use it to request repairs, replacements, or price adjustments based on the findings.
Why choose an independent plumbing inspection?
Unlike builders or agents, our inspections are unbiased and focused entirely on protecting your interests. By hiring an independent plumbing expert, you ensure that every potential issue is uncovered and addressed before finalizing your purchase.
The risks of skipping a plumbing inspection
Older homes or those with outdated plumbing systems may not be equipped to handle modern demands. Wiring, drainage, and water systems from decades ago may no longer meet today’s safety and efficiency standards. Without a plumbing inspection, you could inherit problems such as:
- Burst pipes
- Sewer backups
- Non-compliant systems
- Excessive water bills from hidden leaks
Protect your investment with peace of mind
A pre-purchase plumbing inspection is not just about spotting problems—it’s about making an informed investment.
By understanding the condition of the property’s plumbing, you avoid unexpected surprises and gain the knowledge to move forward confidently.
