Plumbing inspection
With the exception of the termite inspection, the plumbing inspection is one of the most nerve-racking, simply because any work that needs to be done will often be expensive. To help avoid unexpected and expensive plumbing problems, homebuyers and sellers should watch for signs of plumbing issues when shopping or preparing to sell a home.The plumbing inspection will help locate household plumbing problems, which could prevent an owner from selling in a competitive market and likewise, could cost an uninformed buyer plenty if signs of potential plumbing problems go unrecognized. For this, sellers should have a plumbing inspection and address plumbing problems to better their chances of selling their home. The plumbing inspection should cover toilets, showers, sinks, faucets and traps. The plumbing inspection does not typically include a septic inspection.
Tip: The average home plumbing system represents approximately 8% of a home's overall value, meaning that the plumbing in a $200,000 home is valued at $16,000.
