So, you’ve found your dream home. The paint looks fresh, the yard is just the right size, and you can already see yourself sipping coffee in the kitchen. But before you sign on the dotted line, there’s one more thing you shouldn’t overlook: the plumbing inspection. Sure, the home might look perfect on the outside, but what’s going on beneath the surface can make all the difference in your long-term happiness—and wallet.
At Aqua Knight Plumbing, we’ve seen it all, from leaking pipes to DIY disasters, and we’re here to tell you why a plumbing inspection is a must before you commit to that new house.
What’s Lurking Behind the Walls?
When you’re buying a home, you might not think to ask about the pipes. After all, if the water’s running, everything’s fine, right? Not exactly. Plumbing systems can hide all sorts of surprises, and they’re not the fun kind. A professional plumbing inspection can uncover:
- Hidden leaks that can cause serious water damage.
- Outdated pipes that might need replacing soon.
- Sewer line issues that could lead to backups or worse.
- Water heater problems, from age to efficiency.
Buying a home without checking the plumbing is like going to a fancy dinner without checking the bill—you might get hit with a surprise you weren’t expecting.
Save Yourself from Unexpected Costs
Imagine moving into your new home, only to find out that the plumbing needs thousands of dollars in repairs. Not the housewarming gift you were hoping for, right? A plumbing inspection before you close the deal can help you avoid those unwelcome surprises. If there are issues, you can either negotiate repairs with the seller or factor the costs into your budget. Either way, you’ll be better prepared.
What Does a Plumbing Inspection Include?
When we conduct a plumbing inspection at Aqua Knight Plumbing, we don’t just take a quick peek under the sink. Our thorough inspection includes:
- Checking for leaks in pipes, faucets, and fixtures.
- Inspecting the water heater for proper operation and signs of aging.
- Examining the main sewer line for clogs or damage (yes, tree roots love to invade!).
- Assessing the condition of the sump pump to ensure your basement stays dry.
- Inspecting outdoor plumbing like hose bibs and irrigation systems.
We leave no pipe unturned to make sure your plumbing is in tip-top shape.
