Why Plumbing Inspection Services are Essential
No matter how high the quality of the materials used and the high standard of installation, plumbing fixtures will eventually deteriorate and fail. How soon this happens will of course depend on the quality at the outset, with the best systems lasting longest, but also on the regularity of use and the characteristics of the location.
A plumbing failure can either be a minor irritant or a significant issue that causes damage, disruption and can be difficult to fix. So a plumbing inspection can be a useful step to identifying and resolving problems before they become serious.
When a Plumbing Inspection Should be Undertaken
Using a plumbing inspector to look at your system should be arranged under a number of different circumstances:
- If you are intending to buy a home, a pre-purchase plumbing inspection is highly recommended. Faults in a property are not always apparent and an inspection will look at all parts of the plumbing system, indicating if there are water or gas leaks, corroded pipes, poor water pressure, slow drainage and various other faults.
- Using a certified plumbing inspector can save you a lot of unnecessary upset and expense and means you won't have any nasty surprises when you move into your new property. If there are any faults, you may be able to negotiate a lower price due to the cost of putting them right. You can additionally arrange building and pest inspections so you have a full picture of the state of the property.
- If you are selling a property, an inspection will also identify any faults and give you the opportunity to put them right before starting the sale process. This will give you a big advantage when selling because you can state that the property has been inspected and is free from plumbing faults, and will have a plumbing report to back up your claim.
- As a homeowner, it is essential to have your plumbing inspected periodically to ensure it remains in a good state. The system will inevitably deteriorate over time and it is important to identify faults so they can be fixed before they get worse and become a real problem.
- Inspections are particularly important for older properties where systems may be outdated and problems can occur simply due to the amount of use over the years. In some cases, you may suspect something is wrong due to obvious leaks on taps and toilets, increased water usage, low water pressure, unusual smells, cloudy water and paint bubbling on ceilings and walls due to water penetration.
- For commercial premises, regular inspections are essential and should be carried out every one or two years. The actual frequency will depend on the size and the age of the building and the type of business. Companies cannot put their employees and customers in danger or risk interruptions in the water supply, hot water availability and outflows since this will damage future business and profitability.

What is Included in our Inspection
The extent and cost of an inspection will vary depending on several factors — typically the size, type and age of the property.
It can include:
- A visible inspection of the plumbing system that looks for leaks, outdated elements, corrosion and damage.
- Pressure testing the water supply to ensure adequate pressure.
- Checking fittings such as sinks, toilets, taps and bathtubs to ensure there are no problems.
- The use of remotely operated cameras to view the condition of pipes and drainage systems so that blockages and breakages can be identified.
The aim is to provide a full system check and a leak and pipework assessment, looking particularly for hidden elements that are not apparent without a thorough inspection. These elements can easily deteriorate unseen and cause unexpected problems that can be very costly to put right. So, whether you are buying, selling or simply living in or using a property, an inspection will be an investment you will not regret.
Why Choose Mainline Plumbing & Civil
A plumbing inspection is very important so you don't want to have it done by someone who isn't up to the job. That is likely to provide an unsatisfactory outcome and conclusions you just can't rely on.
To get the right inspector:
- Check that the company is qualified to do the job and has the necessary certification and insurance.
- Look at independent reviews and references rather than just those on the company’s website. These will give you an idea if the company is well-respected and has a good reputation; avoid any that have a number of bad reviews.
- Ideally, choose local plumbers that won't have to travel far and have local knowledge of the area, its systems and regulations.
- Get two or three quotations; too many can be confusing while too few will reduce your choice. When you receive quotations, compare them but don't just go for the cheapest. Compare the services that each one is offering because you need to have the job done properly.
- Once you have thoroughly assessed each plumber and their quotations, choose the one that offers a good service at a competitive price and which you think you can trust to do the job. Communicating with each one during the process will give you a good idea of how they approach business and how they will be to deal with.
At Mainline Plumbing & Civil, we will provide a thorough inspection using whatever equipment and techniques are necessary.
