FAQ
Plumbing inspection checklist questions
Have a question we didn't cover? Book a demo and ask a product specialist.
What should I do if the T&P valve doesn't reseat after testing?
Note it as needing attention and recommend replacement. A valve that drips after testing, or that hasn't been tested in years, is a common finding on older water heaters.
Should a plumbing inspection include a sewer camera?
Not usually by default, since it takes extra time and equipment. Recommend it as a separate service when the home is older, has large trees near the line, or the customer reports slow drains or backups.
How do I check for a hidden leak?
Turn off every fixture and watch the water meter's leak indicator or dial. If it moves, there's water flowing somewhere. Note it on the checklist and isolate it from there.
