The plumbing in your home is an essential and often overlooked system that provides clean water and proper collection and transport of waste water. The plumbing systems we take for granted today have ties to systems dating back several thousand years.  Those ancient plumbing systems relied on gravity to supply water through pipes or channels made of clay, lead or stone.

Today, water-supply systems utilize a network of high-pressure pumps and pipes made of copper, brass, plastic, steel, or other nontoxic material. Due to the complexity of these systems it is a good idea to have them inspected for problems before you buy a home.  A National Property Inspections professional will provide a visual inspection of any bathtubs, showers, pipes, toilets, sinks, etc. 

The inspector will make certain all fixtures are installed properly and show no signs of leakage.   Additionally, they will look for missing calking and any drainage problems they might be able to see.  If problems are identified, the inspector will explain what repairs are needed and what actions should be taken.
