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.

Noah arrived on time to replace my water heater. He was polite and explained the process in detail. He was patient and thorough. This replacement was a tough one. He cleaned up and took the time to make sure I understood what was done and what I needed to know about my new water heater. Answered my questions and reminded me to make sure I take advantage of my maintenance membership. I have used Roy’s services a few times for big jobs and their prices are better than most and the service has been amazing. I trust them with my home needs. Thanks Noah for being so awesome!

Josh B. Did an excellent job today with an issue I have had for a few years. Pro chain cleaning was recommended, and it did the trick. Would suggest this method for stubborn clogs that develop in longer drain lines where a standard diameter snake doesn’t work.

Needed to have kitchen/laundry room plumbing looked at due to a clog that persisted to happen every 2-3 years with build up. Other companies typically will just snake it & move on. Roy's took the time to get to the root of the issue & re did the plumbing lines so hopefully it will not happen again. From the diagnoser to the installer, the whole team was quick, efficient, & friendly!

Great service. The technician (Ryan) was awesome. He arrived literally within minutes of the service call ( he was finishing a job in my neighborhood) quickly diagnosed my furnace issue and made repairs within an hour. I was charged what I feel is a fair price to do something I couldn't have done myself. The replacement parts come with a warranty. Couldn't be happier. Now the wife won't yell at me because the house is freezing. Good experience all around

Had my kitchen sink snaked. They couldn't get it done the first day but they came back the next day and cleared up the clog. Sean is highly professional and very concerned about fixing my problem. I will always call Roy's any future heating and plumbing work. And I will ask for Sean.

Steve Martin was my tech today and he was absolutely outstanding! His knowledge of steam boiler systems is impressive, and he explained everything clearly and professionally from start to finish. He took the time to thoroughly inspect and tune up the system, making sure everything was running efficiently and safely. You can tell he truly knows his craft and takes pride in his work. The tune-up was done carefully and meticulously, and I really appreciate his professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to answer questions. Highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable tech!

I was in urgent need of a new sump pump. I called in the morning and got an appointment right away. They were able to come even earlier than expected, which was great! Josh B. went through all my options with me at every price point and didn't pressure me into any decision. He said he wanted to treat me like family and made sure I made an informed decision. When I gave him the go ahead, he finished the work in about an hour and then walked me through what he did and how I should handle the upkeep. I went from being panicked to put at complete ease in just a few hours. Thanks Josh B! Great Job!
