A plumbing inspection gives a clearer picture of the accessible water and drainage services at a property. It can help prioritise maintenance or investigate concerns before planned work or a property decision.
A defined inspection with useful findings
The scope is confirmed before the visit and may include accessible fixtures, visible pipework, hot water connections and drainage symptoms. Concealed services cannot all be assessed visually, so additional testing or camera work may be recommended where there is a specific concern. Findings relate to the agreed inspection scope and conditions on the day.
Problems we assess
- Checks of accessible fixtures and visible connections
- Investigation of reported leaks or drainage concerns
- Maintenance priorities and recommendations for further testing
Access in shared buildings
If the affected pipe or connection serves more than one dwelling, the responsible building contact may need to arrange access. Tell us which areas you control and which require permission before the visit is booked.
Visual checks have practical limits
A visual inspection cannot establish the condition of every concealed connection. The agreed scope should distinguish what can be seen from services that would need a camera, testing or additional access to investigate.
Arranging work at a rental property
For a rented property, identify the owner or managing agent who can authorise work and the occupant who can provide access. A clear description of the fault helps the right person make the next decision.
Planning your service visit
Explain the purpose of the inspection and any particular concerns when booking. Arrange permission and access for the areas to be inspected, especially for tenanted properties or shared buildings.
