Pre-Purchase Inspections
A pre-purchase plumbing and drainage inspection is a thorough assessment of a property’s plumbing system before you buy. Hidden plumbing issues can lead to costly repairs, and what looks fine on the surface may be masking serious problems beneath. Our inspection provides a clear picture of the property’s plumbing health, helping you make an informed decision and avoid unexpected expenses down the line.
What We Check
✔ Water Pressure & Flow – Checking for low pressure, which could indicate pipe issues.
✔ Leaks & Pipe Condition – Identifying hidden leaks or corroded pipes that may lead to future damage.
✔ Hot Water System – Assessing the age, efficiency, and condition of the water heating system.
✔ Toilets, Taps & Fixtures – Ensuring all plumbing fixtures are functioning properly and free from leaks.
✔ Drainage & Sewer Lines – Conducting CCTV inspections to detect blockages, root intrusions, or cracked pipes.
✔ Stormwater & Gutter Drainage – Checking that stormwater systems are properly directing water away from the property.
✔ Compliance with Plumbing Standards – Ensuring the system meets current regulations.
Our Process
Initial Consultation
Get in touch with us via phone, email, or our website to book your pre-purchase plumbing inspection. We’ll discuss the property details, any specific concerns you have, and the timeline for your purchase.
We recommend scheduling the inspection before making an unconditional offer to give you room to negotiate repairs or pricing if needed.
On-Site Inspection
We will visit the property and carry out a comprehensive inspection. We check all plumbing fixtures, test water pressure, assess the condition of visible pipes, and examine the hot water system.
If required, we perform a CCTV drain inspection to look inside the sewer and stormwater pipes for blockages, cracks, or root intrusions.
Detailed Report
Once the inspection is complete, we compile a detailed, easy-to-understand report outlining our findings. The report includes:
✔ A summary of the overall plumbing condition.
✔ Any urgent issues that need immediate attention.
✔ Potential future problems that may require maintenance or repairs.
✔ Photos and/or CCTV footage of any concerning areas.
✔ Estimated costs for necessary repairs or upgrades.
Recommendations & Next Steps
We review the report with you, explaining any findings in clear, simple terms. If problems are identified, we provide professional recommendations on how to address them. You can use this information to:
✔ Negotiate with the seller – Request repairs or adjust the purchase price accordingly.
✔ Plan ahead for repairs – Budget for necessary fixes before you move in.
✔ Proceed with confidence – If no major issues are found, you can buy the property knowing the plumbing is in great condition.
