What Is a Plumbing Inspection?

A plumbing inspection is a thorough assessment of your home’s plumbing system, including pipes, fixtures, water heaters, and drains. A professional plumber checks for leaks, blockages, corrosion, and other potential issues. Regular inspections help prevent costly repairs and ensure your plumbing system operates efficiently.

How Often Should I Get a Plumbing Inspection?

It’s recommended to schedule a plumbing inspection at least once a year to catch minor issues before they become major problems. Older homes or properties with frequent plumbing issues may benefit from more frequent inspections. Regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of your plumbing system and prevent unexpected breakdowns.

What Are the Benefits of a Plumbing Inspection?

A plumbing inspection helps detect leaks, hidden water damage, and potential pipe failures before they escalate. It also ensures your water heater, drains, and fixtures are functioning properly. Preventative inspections save homeowners money by reducing the risk of emergency plumbing repairs.

Can a Plumbing Inspection Help Lower My Water Bill?

Yes, plumbing inspections can identify leaks, inefficient fixtures, and water pressure issues that contribute to higher water bills. Fixing these problems improves water efficiency and prevents unnecessary water waste. Regular inspections help homeowners maintain a cost-effective and environmentally friendly plumbing system.

What Does a Plumber Check During an Inspection?

During an inspection, a plumber examines pipes, faucets, toilets, water heaters, sump pumps, and drainage systems. They look for leaks, corrosion, clogs, and any signs of water damage. A comprehensive inspection ensures your plumbing is in top condition and helps prevent unexpected failures.

When Should I Schedule a Plumbing Inspection?

Plumbing inspections are recommended before buying or selling a home, after major plumbing repairs, or if you notice issues like slow drains or low water pressure. Seasonal inspections, especially before winter, can help prevent frozen pipes and cold-weather damage. Regular inspections keep your plumbing system in top shape year-round.

Can a Plumbing Inspection Detect Hidden Leaks?

Yes, professional plumbing inspections use specialized tools like moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect hidden leaks behind walls or under floors. Identifying leaks early can prevent structural damage, mold growth, and costly water bills. A thorough inspection ensures your home is protected from unseen plumbing issues.

Do I Need a Plumbing Inspection for an Older Home?

Yes, older homes are more susceptible to pipe corrosion, outdated fixtures, and hidden leaks. Regular plumbing inspections help ensure your home’s plumbing system is up to code and functioning properly. Catching potential problems early can prevent costly repairs and major water damage.

The technicians were very professional. They used shoe coverings and they covered my flooring. They did an excellent job installing furnace and air conditioning units. They not only carted everything away but they did an awesome job cleaning up after themselves. Rob made sure to find as many discounts to make costs more manageable. Extremely satisfied.

The communication from the office personnel to the technicians was great. I loved that they send you a email with a picture of the technician coming and a little bio. Jeff was who we had come help. He was knowledgeable and personable he was able to fix our problem and we signed up for membership and before he left he said he would let the office know to set us up for a furnace check. He couldn't have been gone for more than 20 mins and we were already getting a call to set that appointment up. I am so glad we went with Roy's. We will definitely use them for any of our plumbing, heating and cooling needs.
