Plumbing

The plumbing in your home is an essential

and often overlooked system that provides

clean water and proper collection and

transport of waste water. The plumbing

systems we take for granted today have

ties to systems dating back several thousand years.

Those ancient plumbing systems relied on gravity to

supply water through pipes or channels made of clay,

lead or stone.

Today, water-supply systems utilize a network of

high-pressure pumps and pipes made of copper,

brass, plastic, steel, or other nontoxic material.

Due to the complexity of these systems it is a

good idea to have them inspected for problems

before you buy a home. A National Property

Inspections professional will provide a visual

inspection of any bathtubs, showers, pipes,

toilets, sinks, etc.

The inspector will make certain all fixtures are

installed properly and show no signs of leakage.

Additionally, they will look for missing calking

and any drainage problems they might be able

to see. If problems are identified, the inspector

will explain what repairs are needed and what

actions should be taken.
