When purchasing a new condo, it’s common to get a general inspection. However, inspectors don’t always provide as much detail as buyers need to keep all of their home’s features in proper working condition. Plumbing systems can be particularly difficult to address during general home inspections. Here’s why you should have a certified plumber perform a thorough plumbing inspection before you close.

3 Benefits of a Condo Plumbing Inspection

1. Keep Costs Manageable

If there are any problems or inefficiencies, a plumbing contractor is likely to find them. Identifying issues like leaky faucets will reduce your utility bills and prevent costly water damage or repairs in the future. Additionally, condo associations will often pay for these inspections to ensure fixtures are in good shape throughout the building.

2. Evaluate the Condition of the Fixtures & Appliances

Even if no part of your condo’s plumbing system is fully broken, certain items might be worn down or need repair or replacement in the near future. Have everything from the sink faucets to your condo’s water heater inspected. A plumber who works with these fixtures and appliances daily will give you an accurate assessment of their condition so you can plan for any future expenses.

3. Provide In-Depth Recommendations

When you have a plumber perform your inspection, they’ll understand the fixtures they’re looking at on a practical level. They won’t just tell you if something is broken or working inefficiently; they’ll also give you potential solutions or recommendations for addressing those issues.
