Plumbing Inspection FAQs
Should I get a plumbing inspection before buying a home?
On the Peninsula, emphatically yes - and specifically a sewer lateral camera inspection, which general home inspections do not include. A failed lateral or galvanized supply system is a five-figure discovery; finding it before you waive contingencies turns it into negotiating leverage instead of a surprise.
What does a whole-home plumbing inspection cover?
Supply side: pressure testing, pipe material and condition, water heater age and safety devices, fixture shutoffs. Drain side: camera inspection of the sewer lateral, drain function, and visible waste-line condition. You get a documented report with findings prioritized - act now, watch, fine - not a sales sheet.
How often should a home's plumbing be inspected?
For newer systems, at major events: buying, selling, before a remodel. For homes with original pre-1970s plumbing, a periodic check every few years is rational - clay laterals and galvanized supply lines fail on schedules, and a camera look costs a tiny fraction of the emergency it can preempt.
Do you provide documentation for real estate transactions?
Yes - written findings, camera footage you keep, and clear scoping of any recommended work with prices. Agents on both sides of Peninsula transactions use our reports; they are written to be readable by buyers, sellers, and their negotiators, not just plumbers.
