Professional Plumbing Inspections

A plumbing inspection from Good Work Plumbing and Electrical includes an inspection of the pipes, connections, and appliances or fixtures for each of the main plumbing systems.

Our inspectors are thorough, and we always have local codes and health regulations in mind when evaluating the condition of the plumbing system and its components. After the inspection, we will create a list of issues and recommendations to get your plumbing system up to code.

Our home plumbing inspections cover the following systems:

• Main water supply and water lines
• Hot water heater
• Waste lines
• Sewage ejector pumps
• Sump pumps

We will check for the following issues during our plumbing inspections:

• Leaks: Water leaks are a common problem with plumbing systems and they can lead to major damage over time. We will check appliances, pipes, and connectors for leaking issues and look for signs of a hidden leak such as mold, stains, mildew, or warping.
• Cross-connection problems: It is very important that water supply lines and waste lines are running separately to avoid contamination. We will check for any instances of cross-connection in which the water supply is contaminated by waste or something else.
• Pipe problems: Pipes are the main component of the plumbing system and it is very important that they are in good repair. We will check the pipes for any damage, cracks or ruptures and ensure that the right pipes are being used for the right purposes.  We will also look for rusty or worn out pipes that need to be replaced and check for any blockages within the pipes.
