A plumbing inspection is the cheapest plumbing service you’ll ever use, because it’s the one that happens before something breaks. Here’s what a thorough one covers.

What gets checked

Water heater: age, condition, relief valve, signs of sediment or corrosion.
Visible supply lines and drains: material, corrosion, past repairs.
Fixtures: faucets, toilets, and disposals for leaks, wear, and shutoff condition.
Water pressure — chronically high pressure quietly shortens the life of everything.
Signs of hidden leaks: meter movement, stains, damp cabinets.
Washing machine hoses and other quiet flood risks.

When an inspection earns its keep

Buying or selling a home — plumbing surprises are negotiation surprises.
An older home you’ve just moved into, with unknown pipe history.
Before a remodel, so plans account for what’s really in the walls.
A rental or property you manage and can’t watch daily.

What you should walk away with

A straight list: what’s fine, what’s wearing, and what needs attention now — with honest priorities, not a sales pitch. JB Plumbing currently offers complimentary home inspections of your fixtures and appliances, no obligation — just expert eyes on your plumbing before problems pick their own timing.

An inspection turns your plumbing from “unknown” to “known” — and known problems get fixed on your schedule instead of theirs.
