Just for fun, let’s say you’re ready to move into a new home and friends of yours are asking to see it before moving day. You’re excited to show it off, so of course you agree.
As you walk through the front door, your friend heads straight to the kitchen. Most people make that either their first or second stop. And in a heartbeat, she notices that all the plumbing is new: faucet, sink, coffee bar with its own sink and faucet. She even goes as far as to open the cabinet doors under the sink and comments on how new the drainpipes appear to be.
In short, she’s inspecting your plumbing (along with everything else in the house). Well, as welcome as a friend’s or family member’s input might be, there’s no substitute for a real plumbing inspection – the kind we perform at Eagle Service Company to help ensure your plumbing remains in the best possible condition, year after year.
Here’s just some of what our plumbing inspections include:
- Dye-check all toilets for water leaks.
- Test water pressure to make sure you’re not risking damage to supply piping and fixtures.
- Inspect temperature & pressure relief valve, and test for safe and proper operation.
- Inspect water heater(s) for safe & proper operation.
- Inspect drainage system for proper operation.
- Inspect hot & cold water supply lines for leaks.
- Visually inspect tub/shower grout for water-tight seal.
- Check all sink traps for leaks.
- Check condition of washing machine hoses and valves.
- Check all hose bibs for proper operation.
- Inspect exposed water piping for corrosion and electrolysis.
- Inspect exposed gas piping for corrosion.
- Visually inspect crawl space/basement for water/sewer leaks and standing water.
Sewer Video Inspection
For an additional $250.00, we also will use a specially designed video camera to inspect your underground sewer lines. New or existing home, you don’t want a sudden blockage or cracked pipe to turn your life upside down, at least temporarily. If you’re an Eagle Home Protection Plan customer, you’ll receive a 10% discount.*
At the time of your annual plumbing inspection, you’ll also receive one free can of Bio-Clean, a natural drain treatment to help prevent your drains from backing up. Our technician will demonstrate proper application.
For plumbing that will work better, incur few repairs, and last longer, contact Eagle Service Company today to request our comprehensive whole-house plumbing inspection.
*Video inspections are performed for $250 – with or without the 10% discount – only with an accessible, ground-level cleanout.
