An annual general check-up is important in keeping your plumbing in tip-top shape.

Taking time to inspect all the elements of your home

plumbing system will allow you to check on their current

condition and attend to issues immediately.



A plumbing inspection is best done during the fall season to

give you time to prepare for the upcoming winter. Implementing repairs before the cold months of the year will help you avoid

severe plumbing problems. Here’s an inspection checklist

you should follow!



Search for rusty pipes and fixtures. They may be caused

by damaged parts or high mineral content in the water.



Guarantee that your home’s water pressure level is set correctly. It should not be too low

nor should it be too high.



Check your toilet’s flushing mechanism.

Does it produce weird sounds when

flushed? Does it flush wastes efficiently?



Your vent plays an important role in your plumbing. Make sure that your vent fans are

clean and free from dust, dirt and other types of

obstructions.



Are your plumbing fixtures installed

properly? Make sure that your faucets, shower

heads and toilets are not leaking.



Take a look at your pipes, both exposed and hidden. They should not

be showing any symptoms of leaking.



Inspect your toilet and guarantee that it’s

secured. It should not be wobbling or rocking

especially when you sit on it.



Check on your sink drains, floor drains and toilet drains.

They should all be draining properly. Clogging and slow draining are signs of bigger

problems that may be attributed to your main

drainage lines or your venting system.



Examine your water supply pipes or water hoses including

those of your plumbing appliances: washing machine, water heater and dishwasher. Damaged supply lines should

be replaced immediately.



Lastly, inspect your water heater for problems.

Pipes should not be corroded. The water

should not be smelly. The anode rod should still be in

good condition.



Follow this plumbing inspection checklist

we compiled for you and you’ll surely keep your

plumbing system in great condition.
