An annual general check-up is important in keeping your plumbing in tip-top shape.
Taking time to inspect all the elements of your home
plumbing system will allow you to check on their current
condition and attend to issues immediately.

A plumbing inspection is best done during the fall season to
give you time to prepare for the upcoming winter. Implementing repairs before the cold months of the year will help you avoid
severe plumbing problems. Here’s an inspection checklist
you should follow!

Search for rusty pipes and fixtures. They may be caused
by damaged parts or high mineral content in the water.

Guarantee that your home’s water pressure level is set correctly. It should not be too low
nor should it be too high.

Check your toilet’s flushing mechanism.
Does it produce weird sounds when
flushed? Does it flush wastes efficiently?

Your vent plays an important role in your plumbing. Make sure that your vent fans are
clean and free from dust, dirt and other types of
obstructions.

Are your plumbing fixtures installed
properly? Make sure that your faucets, shower
heads and toilets are not leaking.

Take a look at your pipes, both exposed and hidden. They should not
be showing any symptoms of leaking.

Inspect your toilet and guarantee that it’s
secured. It should not be wobbling or rocking
especially when you sit on it.

Check on your sink drains, floor drains and toilet drains.
They should all be draining properly. Clogging and slow draining are signs of bigger
problems that may be attributed to your main
drainage lines or your venting system.

Examine your water supply pipes or water hoses including
those of your plumbing appliances: washing machine, water heater and dishwasher. Damaged supply lines should
be replaced immediately.

Lastly, inspect your water heater for problems.
Pipes should not be corroded. The water
should not be smelly. The anode rod should still be in
good condition.
