If you’re thinking of selling your home, you already know you need to get it looking its best. First impressions are important, and you want to wow buyers with all the best features of your property. Furthermore, you’ll need to schedule real estate inspections to check for termites, mold, structural damage, and any other issues that could cause buyers problems in the future. Real estate inspections can also include examining your plumbing system, so if your house is headed for the market, here’s what to expect.
Plumbing real estate inspections are comprehensive, thoroughly checking all components of your system. Real estate inspections will likely include assessments of your:
- Septic system
- Bathroom plumbing, including sinks, toilets, bathtubs, and drains
- Kitchen plumbing, including garbage disposals, dishwashers, and refrigerator connections
- Washing machines
- Water heaters
- Water pipes
- Water pressure
- Outdoor faucets
Of course, real estate inspections go both ways. The plumbing system needs to be inspected, since any problems that are overlooked could cause serious issues for the new homeowners later. If you were moving into a new home, you’d want reassurance and peace of mind knowing that the plumbing system is in good working order, and that’s precisely what your buyers will want, too.
