Looking to buy a home? Get the plumbing inspected before you do!
If you are in the market for a new home, it might be important that you have the entire plumbing system inspected before making such a large investment. Don’t know what to look for when setting up plumbing inspection? Check out these few tips on how and why you should have the plumbing inspected on a new home.
Have a professional plumbing company set up a camera line inspection so that you can see just how the sewer line is functioning. Taking the time to do this can save you thousands of dollars in the future. It can also help you avoid flooding disasters, repairs, and restorations.
Getting a new home inspected before buying allows you to find out what type of sewer system the house utilizes. It can show you where your waste goes, such as a septic tank or the municipal sewer system.
Plumbing inspection has the ability to also show you the location of your water heater, the capacity, as well as the age. Be sure that the plumber can answer your questions about the water heater and its ability to accommodate your needs. A professional plumber can also take the time to visually inspect below and above the tank for evidence of drips and leaks. Finding this issue before you buy can keep you from having to invest in a new water heater later on.
Having a plumbing inspection can help you find sneaky leaks that can cost you tons of money later on down the line. Look for bathroom and kitchen faucet leaks, as well as shower and toilet leaks. A plumber should be able to inform you if there are any noticeable leaks or drippings from any faucet.
Inspections for new homeowners are imperative, especially when you are looking for lead pipes. Any home that was built prior to 1986 often has galvanized or lead pipes. Avoid a home that has lead pipes, since it is considered an environmental hazard.
Taking the time to have the plumbing inspected before you actually purchase a home can not only help you with future costs, it can also give you a piece of mind when it comes to you and your families health.
