Buying a new home is an incredibly exciting journey! From choosing the perfect neighbourhood to envisioning your family’s future in your new space, there's so much to look forward to. However, before you get swept away in the thrill of homeownership, it's crucial to focus on one essential aspect that can significantly impact your investment.
Plumbing issues may be hidden from sight, lurking behind walls or under floors, and they can lead to costly surprises if not addressed early.
That’s why we’ve created this Home Buyers Guide to Plumbing, to equip you with the knowledge needed to conduct a preliminary self-inspection of your home’s plumbing.
With this information in hand, you’ll be able to determine whether everything is in good shape or if it's time to call in the pros for a more thorough assessment.
Why You Should Do a Home Plumbing Inspection?
Here are some great reasons to prioritise a plumbing inspection before sealing the deal on your new home:
Avoiding Repair Costs:
Discovering plumbing issues before you buy gives you the upper hand. You can request the seller to fix any problems or negotiate for repairs to be factored into the sale. This could save you a good chunk of change down the road!
Lowering the Chance of Emergency Repairs:
A plumbing inspection provides you with a detailed rundown of potential issues to address. Tackling these before they escalate means you’re much less likely to face costly emergency repairs in the future.
Improving Safety:
Things like drain backups and pipe leaks can pose serious health risks if not caught early. By getting these issues resolved during the inspection process, you’re not just protecting your investment; you’re also safeguarding your family’s health
Reducing Energy Bills:
Fixing leaking pipes ensures you’re not wasting water, which can lead to hefty monthly bills. A plumbing inspection can help identify these leaks, contributing to a more energy-efficient, cost-effective home.
In short, a home plumbing inspection is an essential step that can save you money, enhance your home’s safety, and give you peace of mind as you step into this exciting new chapter of your life!
