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.

Tom arrived early and got straight to work on our clogged drain. He was extremely professional and detail oriented - found the issue and was able to get it fixed the same day. What a life saver! He kept the whole workspace clean through the process and overall it was above and beyond excellent. Thank you again!

Josh B was great! He came out to help my grandmother with a sewer problem. Even though the issue was not resolved today (due to no fault of his own as there is a larger problem at hand) he was able to calmly and knowledgeably walk us through everything as well as our options with next steps. He truly went above and beyond and we’re thankful he’s the man on this job!

Everything about my experience with Roy’s is positive. The original estimator who came out, and the three man crew who did the job All highly professional. Did their work impeccably, as promised, no hidden charges or add-ons like with so many contractors, they cleaned up after they were done. Top-notch. Angelo, Joel and Kyle were the contractors and if I need more work at my house, I’m going to request that specific crew. A+.
