Pre-Purchase Plumbing Inspections

Why Pre-Purchase Plumbing Inspections are So Important

If you are buying a home, it makes perfect sense to get a building and pest control report prior to purchase. However, did you know that a building inspection does NOT cover hidden and underground plumbing.

For peace of mind, it is critical that you undertake a pre-purchase plumbing inspection. It would be a tragedy to move in and suddenly discover a nasty surprise of an expensive plumbing problem.

Our figures show that 94% of pre-purchase plumbing inspections reveal one or more plumbing problems, whether it be tree roots in the storm water drains or perhaps the hot water system may look fine on the outside but internally the plumbing heater has rusted away.

Who Completes the Pre-Purchase Plumbing Inspection?

The Pre-Purchase Inspection is only undertaken by one of our experienced plumbers. This ensures that you receive a comprehensive review of the pre-existing plumbing in your potential new home. 
Please remember that the building inspection examines the structural integrity of the home. This is performed by a builder who looks for building problems not plumbing problems.
When purchasing a new property, it is vital that you are aware of all costs and the issues your potential new home may have. Plumbing is an expensive aspect, so it is critical that you know of any problems that might require expensive repair / maintenance.

What does the Inspection Involve ?

Builders may check if the taps work or if the toilets flush, but it is unlikely that will give you a full cost analysis of any plumbing repairs that are required. If these issues are missed, it can end up costing you a fortune in the future.

Identification of any issues prior to signing legal completion papers, ensures the current homeowner is responsible for fixing any issues prior to you moving in.

Again, it is important to stress that only an experienced plumber is qualified to assess the quality of the plumbing system.

To ensure an accurate assessment, the plumber will use a variety of strategies to formulate the report. We may suggest undertaking a CCTV survey of the drains to get a clear image of the drain structure. A CCTV Camera Inspection can provide conclusive proof of any issues. It is possible to produce a clear digital video and image of any drains.

Ensure you are aware of any potential problems before you sign any legal papers. You don't want to move in and then have a large plumbing bill to fix plumbing problems, that should have been the responsibility of the previous home owner
