At Plumbing Pros LLC, we perform plumbing inspections every day for homeowners and commercial property owners. A thorough inspection helps catch hidden issues, prevent costly repairs, and keep your system running safely. Here’s what happens during an inspection, common issues we uncover, and why scheduling one is worth it.
Why Plumbing Inspections Are Essential
Regular inspections protect your property by:
-
Catching problems early before they turn into expensive repairs.
-
Improving water efficiency by identifying leaks and pressure issues.
-
Ensuring safety with gas water heaters and other appliances.
-
Protecting property value with proof of a well-maintained system.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining your property, inspections save time, money, and stress.
What Happens During a Plumbing Inspection
Our inspections cover every major part of your plumbing system:
Pipes and Plumbing Fixtures
We check pipes for corrosion, rust, leaks, or weak joints. A water pressure test confirms proper flow and helps us spot hidden blockages. We also identify outdated materials — such as lead or polybutylene — that may need replacement.
Water Heater Inspection
We evaluate the water heater’s age, condition, and efficiency. For gas units, we check ventilation for safety and look for rust, sediment buildup, or leaks.
Faucets and Fixtures
We test faucets, showers, and toilets for leaks and low water pressure. Dripping fixtures and slow flow often point to bigger issues inside the system.
Sewer and Drain Lines
Using video cameras, we inspect drains and sewer lines for cracks, blockages, and tree root intrusion. We check for slow drains, backups, and odors that signal major problems.
