Do I Need Regular Plumbing Inspections?

Plumbing inspections allow you to keep your system functioning properly. Over time, pipes can develop leaks, clogs, or corrosion that may not be immediately visible.

Regular inspections can prevent costly repairs and extensive water damage by catching these issues before they cause serious damage. If your system hasn’t been inspected recently, a friendly technician from Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Kalispell can visit your home and do a full system evaluation.

Reasons You May Need Regular Plumbing Inspections

Unless your home is brand new, you likely have issues with your plumbing that you may not know about. With each passing year, the chances that you have hidden problems with your system increase drastically. These problems can include:

• Corroded pipes that could lead to bursts
• Slow or clogged drains
• Low water pressure in faucets and showers
• Running or leaking toilets
• Faulty or aging water heaters
• Sediment buildup in water lines
• Malfunctioning sump pumps or sewer lines
• Improperly installed or outdated plumbing fixtures
• Unpleasant odors from sinks or drains

People have their systems inspected to repair minor issues before they become more serious and to check on their systems' overall health. If you’re looking to sell your home, it is important that you have an accurate and full assessment of your plumbing system. A clean bill of health could add value to the home.

What Happens During a Plumbing Inspection?

Plumbing inspections involve examining your entire system, including all pipes, shut-off valves, water heaters, fixtures, drains, and other components. During the inspection, the technician looks for leaks, examines pipes for signs of wear and corrosion, inspects fixtures, measures water pressure, and checks all components to ensure they function properly.

The technician will look for signs of wear and tear, corrosion, and potential problems that might lead to future issues. They may use a video camera to see how piping looks from within. At the end of the examination, the plumber should write up a summary of what they found. The report should outline any issues found and recommendations for repairs or maintenance.

Benefits of Regular Plumbing Inspections

Inspections do more than prevent plumbing emergencies. They can increase the lifespan of your system's components.

Inspections can also improve the quality of the water you drink and shower with. By removing areas of corrosion that could contaminate your water supply, your plumber can remove skin irritants from your water supply.

How Frequently Do I Need to Schedule Plumbing Inspections?

The general rule of thumb is to have your home inspected by a plumber once a year. If you own an older home, you may need to schedule inspections more frequently, as pipes and other components can corrode more quickly in older homes.

Inspections are not time-consuming and can be easily scheduled at a convenient time. Plumbers generally do not require much time and can inspect while you continue your daily activities.
