Most homeowners don’t think about their plumbing until something breaks. By then, a $200 maintenance visit has turned into a $5,000 emergency.
What’s Included in a Plumbing Inspection
A thorough annual inspection covers:
- Water heater check: Anode rod condition, sediment flush, temperature and pressure relief valve test
- Supply line inspection: Look for corrosion, leaks, and outdated materials (polybutylene, galvanized steel)
- Drain performance: Slow drains get attention before they become full clogs
- Toilet and fixture check: Running toilets waste up to 200 gallons per day
- Water pressure test: Verify pressure is in the safe 40–80 PSI range
- Hose bib and outdoor plumbing: Critical before Boise winters
The Math on Prevention
A burst pipe in a finished basement can cause $10,000–$25,000 in water damage. A slab leak can undermine your foundation. Annual maintenance catches these issues early when they cost hundreds, not thousands.
Boise-Specific Concerns
Our freeze-thaw cycles are hard on plumbing. Pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces, and unheated garages are especially vulnerable. We check insulation and recommend heat tape where needed.
