An annual plumbing check is a great way to keep plumbing repair costs to a minimum by catching small problems before they become big, expensive disasters. A home’s plumbing system can wreak havoc if it fails. Normally, most plumbing problems don’t happen all at once. They start small and slowly grow over time. Catching problems early is precisely why the check is so important.
So what is a plumbing check? Well lets review some of the things it includes. First, the overall condition of the water supply and drain system is checked. Plumbers know where to look and what to look for. The water heater will be inspected for leaks, and to ensure the water pressure is sufficient. The venting system will also be checked to ensure it is properly attached and in good working order. Carbon monoxide is a byproduct of combustion, and faulty ventilation could release these dangerous gases into your living space.
Plumbing checks also include faucets and sinks, toilets, garbage disposals, septics systems, and more. A big part of a plumbing check is what can’t be seen. Using small video cameras experts can look into your sewer pipe deep under ground to make sure there’s no root infiltration or other damage that could lead to a blocked sewer line.
