When Should You Get Plumbing Inspections?

There’s no hard-and-fast rule about how often you should get plumbing inspections. Although the general consensus is that you should plan on doing them annually, there are some other factors to consider:

They help find potential plumbing problems

Buying a House

If you’re buying a house, it’s a good idea to have an inspection done before making an offer. That way, you can negotiate with the seller and get something taken care of if there are any problems found in the pipes or fixtures.

Major Renovations

If You've Recently Had Major Renovations

If you’ve recently had major renovations done on your home (like remodeling or adding new bathrooms), it makes sense to have another inspection after those projects have been completed—especially if they involved extensive work in one area of the house. This will help make sure everything was properly installed and connected correctly before moving forward with anything else on your schedule!

New Construction

New Construction

New construction should be inspected as well; however, this step tends not to happen until after move-in day because builders usually don’t want buyers finding out about potential issues until then for fear of losing out on both time/money spent fixing things prior to closing escrow and sales opportunities lost due to lack thereof being able to keep people interested long enough wait until everything gets fixed properly once they finally do close escrow.

Do You Need a Plumber For Home Inspections?

Have you ever thought about hiring a plumber for home inspections? If not, it’s time. Plumbing is the most important part of a home inspection, and only a qualified plumber can examine all the pipes and connections in your house. A plumbing inspection will help detect leaks, corrosion, and other problems that may be hidden behind drywall or under floorboards.

If you’re buying an older house, it’s especially important to get a plumbing inspection before making an offer on the property (or even after closing if there are any issues). Older homes often have outdated pipes that could lead to costly repairs down the line—and even worse: burst pipes or water lines during cold weather can freeze inside walls and ceilings if they’re not properly insulated.

Points of Inspection

The fact is that almost every plumbing system is distinctive, and some of them are indeed one of a kind. As a result of the fact that they are typically very intricate, numerous items need to be examined during an inspection process. If you are having a plumbing inspection performed, the following list will clarify some of the things that will be looked at:

Exposed Pipes, Equipment and the Complete Plumbing System

We at Beavercreek Plumbing & Drain visually inspect any and all exposed areas of the overall plumbing system and its related equipment to check for any sort of deterioration and damage. We probe closely to find any potential plumbing problems.

Sinks, Basins, Drains & Faucets

Sinks, basins, faucets, drains, bathtubs, toilets, and other plumbing fixtures can become plumbing problems in your home without you realizing it. Simple things like a leaky faucet could be a problem and a lot of these are easy fixes. Even if the problem seems minor and results in wasted water, they can increase expenses and cause damage.

Washers, Hot Water Heaters, and Other Appliances

There is a wide range of problems that can damage and even destroy large household appliances connected to the plumbing system or that transport water in or out. Additionally, if these appliances aren’t installed properly, aren’t working properly or if they begin to malfunction, a leak can develop and cause water damage in your home or business. We at Beavercreek Plumbing & Drain check all your home or building’s drains, pipes, hoses, valves and appliances. We also check the emergency water shut-off valve as well to make sure it’s working properly.

How do plumbers find water leaks?

There are special acoustic listening tools plumbers use to discover leaks. Devices like listening discs and ground microphones allow plumbers to listen for any escaping water dripping through pipes or even a layer of cement.

How do I know if there's a leak in my sanitary sewer line?

The positive news is that a sewer line leak will not drive up your water bill; the bad news is this makes it harder to tell when your sewer line needs repair. A broken sewer line may result in the rapid growth of grass and weeds on your lawn or a moist patch. There may also be a strange smell around your property, and you may start spotting rodents and pests. If a sinkhole has suddenly appeared near your property, that may also be the result of a broken sewer line.

What are the most common plumbing problems?

Plumbing problems are bound to happen. Even in newer homes, clogged drains or a water leak can show when you least expect it. Whether you’re living through the repairs or an older home, or just purchasing a new home and want to be prepared, these are the most common plumbing problems: clogged toilet jammed garbage disposal, clogged bath or shower drain, leaky pipes, running toilet, slow draining sink, water heater repair, low water pressure.
