Mississauga Plumbers Tell You What To Expect From Your Plumbing Inspection

Regular plumbing inspections will keep your plumbing system working efficiently for a very long time. In fact, it’s the key to extending the life of the system. It’s important to get an inspection done at least once a year. At John The Plumber Mississauga, we also recommend that you inspect the plumbing system of any property you intend to purchase. This could save you a considerable amount of trouble later on. Different professionals will have different inspection processes. Here’s what you can expect from most plumbers.

 

Visual Inspection

 

Most Mississauga plumbers will first do a visual inspection where they look for clear signs of leaks such as water damage. They will also check the faucets to see if they’re dripping. They will look at all visible and accessible pipes for signs of cracks and damage. This visual inspection is usually very comprehensive. A regular inspection usually doesn’t include looking at hard-to-access areas of the plumbing system. If you want a more comprehensive inspection, you might have to discuss it with the plumber.

 

Checking the Drainage System

 

The next thing our Mississauga plumber will check is the drains. The professional plumber will pour water into the bathroom and kitchen sinks, bathtubs and shower drains to see how quickly the water drains. If they notice a significant delay, they’ll immediately note it down and offer advice about repairs.

 

Checking the Toilets

 

Problems with toilets are often ignored. An experienced Mississauga plumber will be well aware of this and inspect the toilet carefully. They will look for signs like running water in the toilet bowl, stains around the base of the toilet and lack of proper drainage. We recommend that you address problems with the toilet immediately after you’re made aware of it. This would help you save some money on repairs.

 

Cross Connection

 

Most inspectors will be on the lookout for what is called cross connection. This is when water that’s meant for your household use is contaminated by another source. This problem happens quite often. Your household water might become contaminated by drainage water coming from your bathrooms or kitchen.

 

Inspectors will often look for different kinds of problems and make sure that your plumbing system is healthy.
