As part of a thorough home inspection, we check all major plumbing system components. Here at Michiana Home Inspections, we understand the importance of a professional plumbing inspection when buying a home. A properly functioning plumbing system is essential for the health and safety of your family.
What is a Plumbing Inspection? At Michiana Home Inspections, our certified inspectors visually inspect all the major plumbing components during a comprehensive home inspection. If applicable, we check the condition of drains, faucets, water supply, gas lines, and any significant plumbing equipment like water heaters and sump pumps. We also test the functionality of plumbing fixtures and check for any supply leaks. |
We test under-sink faucets, tubs, and shower sprayers for flow, pressure, and temperature control. We identify signs of damage or deterioration, such as leaks, stains, pooling water, or rust stains on pipes, which indicate potential problems. Our report documents all major plumbing components and any significant deficiencies we observe.
Cost of a Plumbing Inspection
The standard cost for a complete plumbing inspection during a home inspection ranges from $200-$350 for a 1,500-2,500 square foot home. Clients can also request an additional plumbing test for only $75.
Sewer Line Inspection
Our certified inspectors recommend a sewer line inspection for all homes, whether the sewer line is public or private. We visually inspect the interior of fixtures and drain lines, but we do not run a camera through the sewer line, which requires a sewer scope inspection. Instead, we recommend that all buyers arrange for a professional sewer scope inspection for only $100-$250. That is especially important for houses over 15-20 years old.
Plumbing Pressure Test
A plumbing pressure test can identify hidden leaks and other potential supply line problems before they become costly repairs or cause water damage. We use pressurized air to test all of a home's visible water piping and shut-off valves. We highly recommend a plumbing pressure test for any home over 15-20 years old or with visible signs of corrosion.
At Michiana Home Inspections, we offer a basic plumbing pressure test with our inspection for only $75 in addition to the standard inspection cost. This comprehensive test helps give you valuable insight into the condition and performance of a home's plumbing system. After the test, we provide a detailed report of our findings to help inform your buying decision.
Making an Informed Decision
By catching potential plumbing issues early, you can negotiate repairs with the seller, budget for repairs after purchase, or sometimes walk away from the purchase. Our complete home inspections with additional plumbing tests help you make an informed decision about any home you're considering, giving you peace of mind about the major systems and components.
Please call or email our office anytime with any other questions about our comprehensive plumbing inspections or home inspection services. You can rely on our professional and thorough inspections to identify issues and give you confidence in your important real estate decisions. We look forward to helping you buy your next new home with confidence.
