Q. Why do I need a plumbing inspection?
Peace of mind
To know that a licensed professional plumber has inspected the property and has written a comprehensive report that details all plumbing and drainage conditions, which is not covered in a standard building inspection.
Save you $$$
Once again a licensed professional plumber has inspected the property and has written a comprehensive report detailing all the plumbing and drainage conditions. Also you will receive an estimate of the cost involved to rectify these faults. This report can then be used when negotiating with the real estate. We always believe it is best to know of a problem or potential problem than get a nasty surprise 4 weeks after purchasing a property, for example the hot water heater or pipes have degraded and are about to leak.
Q. What do I get out of a plumbing inspection?
The plumbing inspection carried out supplies the following:
- sewer pipes - dvd Video showing condition.
- stormwater dvd Video showing condition.
- pressure test - to determine adequate water pressure.
- gutters and downpipes - condition and life expectancy.
- surface water check - adequate drainage in place.
- water line - condition and pipe materials.
- taps - Condition of all taps.
- vanities - Condition of pipes in vanity.
- toilets and cisterns - Condition and flow rate.
- laundry tubs - Condition of pipes.
- kitchen sink - Condition of pipes and filters.
- venting systems - Condition of vents.
- hot water heaters - Date, life expectacy and valve check.
None of these checks are done in your standard building inspection!
