A Pre-Purchase Plumbing Inspection can give you the peace of mind you need before making one of life’s biggest decisions and here at Check and Inspect, we want to support you!

When purchasing a new home or investment property, it’s common practice to get a building inspection.

However, most building inspections don’t include thorough plumbing checks, and they often have disclaimers recommending you seek an inspection from a licensed plumber.

Plumbing issues aren’t always easily visible, and common problems like leaking drains or showers can lead to costly repairs, including cracked walls, dampness, mould, and even shifting foundations.

A pre-purchase plumbing inspection helps uncover these hidden issues, giving you a clearer picture of the property’s condition.

Whether you're buying or preparing to sell, a plumbing inspection will ensure your plumbing meets expectations and avoid surprises down the track.

Our report highlights both major and minor defects, with recommendations for further investigation if needed.
