Looking at Buying a Home in Peterbough?
Buying a home in a brand new city can be a daunting experience. Generally there is a shift in career as well as organizing kids schedules, finding where everything is in the area. Also finding the local hot spots and grocery stores as well as organizing the move itself.

Let us at John the plumber take care of one simple headache for you. Get the plumbing in that home that you’re prospectively buying checked out out by us before you put that offer down.
Home Plumbing Inspection
Our licensed and certified plumbers can walk through the home and make a visual inspection of all the plumbing and the fixtures in the house. If it’s an older house in an older neighborhood, running a camera trained down the mainline is a fantastic idea. If there are any issues there you really probably don’t want to buy this house as the expenses can be huge! We can take a look at your water pipes and let you know what material they are made of and if they are occasionally problematic. Water heater, sump pumps, water purification systems, sewage and well systems. We can take a look at all of it and let you know if they have been maintained well and if they are in good shape.
Look For The Little Things
Although we can’t promise you that the homeowner has taken excellent care of the house. When we see that the plumbing and fixtures are in good working order, that is generally a good indication of how well the house was maintained. Little things like minor leaking taps or tub spout or water stains on the ceiling can go a long way to show that the house was possibly somewhat neglected. This may not deter you from buying the home in Peterborough, it can give you a little bit of leverage in the negotiations of the purchase.
