New Jersey home inspections will describe the predominant interior water supply and distribution piping materials; predominant drain waste and vent piping materials; and water heating equipment including energy sources. NJ home inspectors are familiar with the new type water heaters. New Jersey home inspectors will not inspect hot tubs or spas.Check faucet and hose connections under sinks and toilets. Look for leaks at shut-off valves at sinks, toilets, laundry equipment, and main water shut-off valve.

Is the water pressure adequate?

Do all the drains run freely?

In a basement or crawl space home, pull back floor insulation to check for leaks and wood damage around water supply pipes, drains, and water closet.

Check sinks, tubs, and showers for proper drainage.

Remove hair from drains. When necessary, use a snake or plumber's friend to unstop drains--or call a plumber.

Check the pressure relief valve on the water heater. Open it to see that it is working. Check for signs of leaking or rusting. Some manufacturers recommend that a small amount of water be drained periodically from the tank, be careful that you do not burn yourself if you drain the water heater.

NJ home inspection will describe and inspect all the visible plumbing in the house, both the supply and waste systems. This includes: visible condition of water feed lines, the waste pipes and vent stacks. Our New Jersey Home Inspector is very familiar with the newer type of plumbing and, of course, the older type plumbing systems in New Jersey. Plumbing repairs are very expensive and our NJ Home Inspector will examine each and every system very carefully. The main water supply line and shut off valve will be inspected and shown to the client so he or she will know where to shut off the water in case of an emergency. Also included in the plumbing inspection is the laundry which includes the washer and dryer connections. And, the plumbing to all the fixtures in the house will be inspected and tested.
