Pre-purchase plumbing inspection
Buying a new home is exciting, but it is also a huge investment. Pimlico’s team of experienced plumbing professionals conduct a thorough inspection of the entire plumbing system including:
- Pipes
- Fixtures
- Drains
- Water Heaters
Our state-of-the-art equipment and techniques detect leaks, clogs and any other hidden problems that can be easily overlooked during a regular home inspection. It certainly makes financial sense to have one of our experts carry out a detailed assessment of the property’s plumbing before purchase.
What to expect from our pre-purchase plumbing survey
With our pre-purchase plumbing survey, you’ll receive a detailed report of our findings, including photos and recommendations for repairs or upgrades. We will also provide you with a cost estimate so you can make a more informed decision about your purchase.
Our visual survey will take approximately 90 minutes to complete. During the inspection, our Pimlico engineer will provide a detailed assessment of the plumbing in each individual room. You will receive a final quote for any recommended work on the plumbing of the property.
Save yourself money from costly repairs
By investing in a pre-purchase plumbing survey, you can save yourself from costly repairs further down the road and ensure that your new home’s plumbing is in good working order. The cost of fixing or replacing plumbing issues is something that homeowners want to budget for in advance. A pre-purchase survey may unfold some smaller issues to be fixed, which will prevent them from becoming larger issues in the future.
