Ensure Your Home Is Ready for Your Plumbing Inspection With These Three Tips

September 22, 2023

Selling your home can be a long, tiring process. Minor issues like a leaky pipe during your home plumbing inspection can slow down your progress and limit your negotiating power. Thankfully, sailing through your inspection is easy  – with these three helpful tips, you’ll ensure your home plumbing is in excellent condition and ready for today’s competitive housing market.

Identify Plumbing Leaks Around Your Home

A leaky faucet is an easy fix – don’t let it cost you points on a home plumbing inspection. Before your scheduled appointment, take a walk through your space to pinpoint anywhere the pipes or fixtures are dripping. Remember to check under the sink, near your water heater and around your washing machine connectors.

Inspect Your Water Heater for Plumbing Maintenance Needs

When listing your home, the last thing you want is to replace an expensive water heater. Staying on top of your plumbing inspections is the best way to prevent this hurdle. Before your inspection, have a plumber check your water heater unit for leaks, corrosion and any other issues to catch them in the early stages. And, as always, make sure to call in a local plumbing service as soon as you notice a spiked water bill,  a knocking sound from your water heater or your water not heating up properly!

Have a Local Plumber Clean Your Drains and Sewer Lines 

Like water heaters, costly pipe repairs are easily avoided with proper plumbing maintenance. Even if you haven’t noticed a leak or slow water flow lately, having your drains and sewer line inspected and cleared on a regular basis is key to preventing issues before your home inspection. A trained plumber can locate a blockage early on using a video inspection, saving you from an enormous repair bill down the line!
