There are many areas of your home that need to be given proper care throughout the year. As such, you might not put a plumbing inspection at the top of your to-do list. Nevertheless, regular inspections are vital so that any minor problems your pipes may have can be addressed before they get out of control. When you get a plumbing inspection done, here is what you can expect.
Inspection of Pipes and Drains
Typically, a plumbing inspection begins by getting your pipes and drains checked for corrosion, leaks, and other signs of damage. A plumber will also see if you have slow drains, as this can indicate that something is blocking them in some way. Sometimes, a drain camera might be used to get a good look at your pipes.
Inspection of Faucets and Fixtures
Another part of your plumbing inspection will include the checking of faucets, toilets, and showers. A plumber will see if there is sufficient water pressure, and they’ll check for irregular water flow and leaking. If you have any older fixtures in your home, they might need to be replaced.
Examining Your Water Heater
Your water heater will also be inspected at this time for any signs of irregular temperatures, leaking, and rusting. The pressure relief valve will also be inspected at this time to ensure that it still functions as intended. Following these steps can help your water heater become more efficient, while also helping it last longer.
Inspecting of Your Sewer Line
Sewer line issues can bring about a great deal of property damage. As such, checking your sewer line is a crucial aspect of your plumbing inspection. When you’re getting a plumbing inspection done, your plumber might take a look at the cleanout to see if there is damage or any indicators of blockage. They might also check to see if there are any sewage leaks.
