We’re following up on one of our suggested New Year’s resolutions of having a whole house plumbing inspection. We are going a little deeper on the benefits, and what you can expect from a whole house plumbing inspection.
Benefits of a Whole House Plumbing Inspection
They are numerous. Here are a few.
- Fix small problems before they become big ones. This is perhaps the most important one. Small problems are easy and inexpensive to fix, and usually can be fixed before they cause extensive damage. Big problems, however, can be costly and inconvenient. For example, a clogged drain can be unclogged before there is a major sewage backup. That’s a small problem. But if it turns into a major sewage backup, that’s major.
- Reduce the risk of emergencies. Fixing those small problems also minimizes the risk of emergencies, such as flooded basements, shut off valve failures and burst pipes.
- Save money. Eliminating big problems saves money from paying the professional plumber to fix the emergency and possibly having to replace something, as well as the cost of any damage incurred.
- Extend the life of your plumbing faucets, fixtures, toilets, pipes, sewer lines, etc. Fixing those small problems can also extend the life of the components of plumbing systems.
- Improved health and indoor air quality. The inspection can spot leaks and other issues that can generate the growth of mold spores and foul orders.
- Peace of mind. You have enough to worry about. Knowing your plumbing system is in good shape means one less thing to concern you.
