Don’t buy that house before doing this one thing!
Looking to buy a home? Get the plumbing inspected before you do!
Before you settle into the house, consider calling a professional local plumber and have them do a plumbing inspection today. This way if they do detect a potential problem, they can fix it more easily without having to move or inconvenience you in any way. The empty house makes the ideal conditions for an inspection to take place. While you might think that the home looks perfectly fine, behind the walls could be problems on the verge of becoming plumbing emergencies.
Connections to all your sinks, toilets, and shower, need to be tight to ensure water is not trickling out and causing potential problems. A leaking toilet on the second floor could go unnoticed for years if it only drips when flushed. The water could be traveling along a beam, or pooling up above the ceiling in a closet where you might never think to look up. The professional plumbing specialist will perform a pressure test on all the pipes to see if any leaks are detected, then hunt them down to see if any damage has been occurring.
The importance of a plumbing inspection for new homeowners can not be understated. Spend a few dollars now before you move in and find out everything about the system, or wait until a problem becomes and emergency and be prepared to spend thousands to make those repairs.
