Buying or moving into a home means inheriting whatever plumbing choices were made before you got there: the pipe material, the water heater's age, how well the drains were maintained. A plumbing inspection early on gives you a clear, documented picture of what you are working with, before a slow leak or an aging water heater turns into a larger repair.
At I Am A Plumber and Remodeler, we inspect homes throughout Fort Lauderdale, Davie, Hollywood, Dania Beach, and Hallandale Beach, FL. If an inspection turns up something that needs attention right away, we also handle emergency plumbing, available 24/7, so a problem found during an inspection does not have to wait.
What a New Homeowner Plumbing Inspection Actually Covers
We go through the plumbing system room by room. That includes checking:
- Supply lines and shut off valves at every fixture
- Pipe material and condition, including corrosion or past repairs
- Water pressure at sinks, showers, and outdoor spigots
- The water heater's age, connections, and visible wear
- Drain lines for slow flow, blockages, or buildup
- Toilets, faucets, and under sink plumbing for leaks or drips
- Outdoor plumbing and irrigation connections, where present
We walk you through what we find in plain terms: what is working fine, what is worth watching, and what needs plumbing services sooner rather than later.
Water Leak Detection Without Tearing Into Walls
A leak behind a wall or under a slab rarely shows itself until a water bill spikes or a ceiling stains. As part of an inspection, we use water leak detection methods to check supply lines and fixtures for hidden leaks before they turn into a drywall or flooring repair on top of the plumbing fix.
Drain and Sewer Line Condition
Slow drains, gurgling, or a bad smell near a cleanout can point to a partial blockage or a line carrying a lot of buildup. We check for drain unclogging needs during the inspection, and where a line needs more than a simple clog cleared, hydrojetting drain cleaning clears the pipe without relying on repeated plunging or chemical drain cleaners that only treat the surface of the problem.
Planning to Remodel or Build?
If you are planning a kitchen remodeling or bathroom remodeling project after move in, the inspection also tells us what the existing plumbing can support and where lines will need to move or be upgraded. For a property being built from the ground up, we also handle new construction plumbing, from the initial rough in to the final fixtures.
When an Inspection Turns Into an Emergency Call
Most inspections turn up small items to watch. Occasionally they turn up something that needs same day attention. We offer emergency plumbing, available 24/7, in Fort Lauderdale, Davie, Hollywood, Dania Beach, and Hallandale Beach for situations like:
- Burst or actively leaking pipes
- Sewage backups
- Water heater failure
- A sudden drop in water pressure throughout the home
We respond to protect your home from further damage and get the plumbing system back to normal.
What to Expect When We Inspect Your Home
We explain what we are checking as we go and point out anything we find on the spot. You get a straightforward rundown of the plumbing system's condition, not a sales pitch. If something needs plumbing services beyond the inspection itself, we can schedule that work directly.
