Plumbing Inspection
Hutto, TX
During a plumbing inspection, Premium Rooter performs a thorough check of your home’s plumbing system to identify any existing or potential issues.
Plumbing Inspection
Our inspection typically includes:
-
Water pressure testing -
Inspection of visible pipes for leaks, corrosion, or damage -
Checking all fixtures (toilets, sinks, tubs, showers) for proper function and drainage -
Water heater evaluation for age, safety, and performance -
Sewer line and drain checks, including camera inspection if needed -
Testing shut-off valves, supply lines, and pressure regulators -
Examining hose bibs, sump pumps, and any exposed plumbing
We provide a detailed report and recommend any necessary repairs or preventive measures.
When To Get a Plumbing Inspection
We recommend a plumbing inspection in the following situations:
-
Before buying or selling a home -
Annually, as part of routine maintenance -
If you’ve noticed unusual water pressure, slow drains, or increased water bills -
After a major storm or freeze, which can damage pipes -
If your home is 20+ years old or you’ve never had the plumbing checked -
If your water heater is more than 10 years old, getting it checked is advised
Regular inspections help catch problems early and avoid costly emergencies. Customers are encouraged to have an annual inspection along with the water heater flush. Can catch problems that might lead to further problems (potentially more costly) in the future.
Why a Regular Home Inspection Isn’t Good Enough
A general home inspection during a real estate transaction often provides only a surface-level look at plumbing, checking that fixtures turn on and drains flow.
Unlike a general inspector, Premium Rooter uses specialized tools like pressure gauges, moisture meters, and sewer cameras to assess your plumbing system in detail.
So while a home inspection is helpful, it’s not a substitute for a dedicated plumbing inspection, especially when buying an older home or suspecting hidden issues.
Why We Recommend You Be Home for the Inspection
It’s not required, but we recommend that you be present. This allows you to:
-
Ask questions in real time -
See what we find firsthand -
Understand recommended repairs or upgrades
If you can’t be there, no problem—Premium Rooter will provide a full written report, photos, and a follow-up call to go over our findings.
