How Do You Pass a Plumbing Inspection?

Plumbing inspections are required after the completion of a plumbing installation work. However, in some states, plumbing inspections, especially for gas plumbing works, inspections and certifications are done annually. For most residential homes and properties, annual inspections and certifications in your plumbing systems are also required. Buying and selling properties also requires plumbing inspections.

Most professional plumbers Kingsford residents call in times of emergencies suggest having your plumbing systems checked and inspected every two years. The inspection helps identify minor issues that can lead to costly repairs and disasters in your property. Here are additional reasons why you should regularly have your plumbing systems at home checked and how to pass plumbing inspections with high colours.

Water Heater Inspections

One of the most common areas that plumbing inspections pay attention to is your water heaters. An inspector can easily see leaks and identify the age and integrity of your water heating systems. Most water heaters last around 10 years before they require replacements. Yearly maintenance checks are required for water heaters. Gas powered heating systems are required to have annual checks, backed with a certificate of compliances for some states. If your water heaters are regularly maintained by a professional and reliable plumber, you can easily get flying colours with an inspector.

Checking for Leaks and Water Discolouration

Always do regular self-inspection around your home to check for hidden leaks and water seepage in your homes. When walls, floors and ceilings start to moist for no apparent reason, a leak may be present inside your home. A plumber can easily recognise leaks and diagnose areas in your home with possible leaks too. Repairing such issues is costly and can add a hike on your water bill. Get them checked and repaired by a professional plumber. The practice also helps prevent major repair services in your home. Regular maintenance and repair checks in your home can help you pass any future plumbing inspection your state or potential home buyer may require.

Lead Pipes

Lead pipes are common in older homes. These pipes should be immediately replaced. When buying or selling a property, the cost of pipes replacement can add a dent on the actual value of your property. Lead pipes pose safety risks especially with children. A professional plumbing team can help you identify where these lead pipes are located. They can give you a fair estimate on the cost of the replacement.

Completely replacing lead pipes helps you pass plumbing inspections from your local sanitary committee or a potential home buyer. Additionally, it also helps add value to your property.

Shut-Off Valves

When inspecting plumbing systems in a residential home or property, the shut off valves are given extra attention. Buy new ones to replace your old valves that are not working efficiently anymore. To pass an inspection, shut off valves should work properly. They should be accessible and can be easily manipulated when the demand calls for it.  If a valve does not work properly, controlling a bad leak that can damage your home may be difficult.

One of the most significant practices that can help maintain a sound, working and efficient plumbing system for your home is regular maintenance. Have your plumbing system checked at least once every two years, or annually for homes or properties that maintain a pool or a huge piping network. Regular maintenance helps identify issues immediately, giving you enough time to do repair and restorations before your annual plumbing inspection arrives.
