During a pipe inspection, a plumber will feed a camera attached to a cable through a drain or opening in the pipe to view the condition of your plumbing system. This process can help identify any major damage or concerns, such as roots growing into the pipes or corrosion. However, many property owners don’t know when they should schedule a pipe inspection.
Here are three situations when you may want to hire a plumber for a pipe inspection service:
- You’re preparing to buy a new home. If you are preparing to buy a new home, you want to have complete confidence that the pipes are in top condition. We can provide a pipe inspection before you buy the home, and if we find any issues, you can make a more informed decision. For instance, you may be able to negotiate a lower price for the home or ask for the problem to be fixed before move-in day.
- You have an older property. If you have an older property, your pipes are more likely to be worn and may need to be replaced sooner than you might think. A pipe inspection can help you know the age and condition of your pipes and whether they might need to be replaced soon.
- You’ve notice warning signs of damaged pipes. Low water pressure, frequently clogged drains, signs of moisture damage, and mold growth around your home can all indicate potential pipe damage. If you notice any of these warning signs, you should schedule a pipe inspection right away to find and resolve the cause of the problem.
