Plumbing |
Plumbing involves the
installation, maintenance and alteration of piping, fixtures, appliances and
accessories in connection with sanitary or storm drainage fac ilities,
venting systems and public or private water supply systems. A plumbing
system consists of three systems: (1) water supply (2) drain and waste
disposal (3) mechanical, ample fixtures and equipment. Your inspector will
inspect and operate all fixtures and run several gallons of water through
the plumbing system, checking the overall condition of the system. Leaking
pipes, dripping valves, clogged pipes, corrosion, reversed hot and cold
water supplies, limited hot water or inadequate water pressure are all
common ailments of a poor plumbing system. Remarks and recommendations will
be made to correct problems found during inspection. |

The mechanical
systems in plumbing include fixtures, piping and valves. Although operating
fixtures to see if they’re working is relatively easy, your inspector will
do much more. While operating each fixture in your
bathrooms and kitchen he will be considering the effects on the whole
plumbing system including, leaks, pressure, flow and quality of the existing
installation. The piping and valve system of your new home must be in good
working order. Old or improperly installed pipes are difficult to repair and
often require expensive replacement. Only an experienced eye will pick up
badly joined piping on a new installation of clean copper tubing, or
consider the limitation of supply piping based on age, type of material and
sizing.
