A plumbing inspection gives a clearer picture of the accessible water and drainage services at a property. It can help prioritise maintenance or investigate concerns before planned work or a property decision.
A defined inspection with useful findings
The scope is confirmed before the visit and may include accessible fixtures, visible pipework, hot water connections and drainage symptoms. Concealed services cannot all be assessed visually, so additional testing or camera work may be recommended where there is a specific concern. Findings relate to the agreed inspection scope and conditions on the day.
Problems we assess
- Checks of accessible fixtures and visible connections
- Investigation of reported leaks or drainage concerns
- Maintenance priorities and recommendations for further testing
A fault that comes and goes
Intermittent symptoms may not be present during a visit. Photographs of a visible leak or a note of the conditions when it appears can help explain the problem without repeatedly operating a faulty fixture.
Visual checks have practical limits
A visual inspection cannot establish the condition of every concealed connection. The agreed scope should distinguish what can be seen from services that would need a camera, testing or additional access to investigate.
Access before the visit
Where practical, leave the affected fitting and nearby service openings accessible. If a cupboard, gate or plant area is locked, arrange for the responsible person to be available at the time of attendance.
Preparing for attendance
Explain the purpose of the inspection and any particular concerns when booking. Arrange permission and access for the areas to be inspected, especially for tenanted properties or shared buildings.
