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.

I woke up to a freezing house..thermostat reading 42°, the boiler cold & silent. I’ve used Roy’s in the past & from beginning to end everyone is always friendly and professional. From the woman who took the-initial call, caring enough to ask questions so she could schedule the technicians who had the expertise & experience working with older steam boilers. Mike & Gabriel diagnosed the problem,,replaced the part & had it up and running in no time at all. They were both , personable, professional, & knowledgeable.

The previous owners had Roy’s install the hot water heater. It finally died on Sunday and they came out the next day. Within 48 hours of coming home to water leaking out, we had a whole new setup! All the technicians were great to work with, very clean. Impressed with their install, price and warranty.

We had to make an emergency service call recently for a major clog in our plumbing that was causing a huge backup and water to come down from our second floor bathrooms, inside the walls, through our ceiling and vents, and ultimately down to our basement. Needless to say it was a mess and a very stressful situation. We were able to get a same day appointment and Josh B showed up. He was amazing. He was not only polite and friendly, and reassured us with his credentials and experience - but did a thorough job identifying and explaining the issue. He was able to get everything fixed for us, and all with a smile and friendly attitude, despite it being a challenging last call of the day on a Friday. I would never hesitate to call Roy’s again for any plumbing needs, and while I’m sure everyone there is great, I’d request Josh again with confidence.
