Professionals recommend plumbing inspections every 1 to 2 years or before buying or selling a home. A standard home inspection costs $250 to $500+ but typically doesn't include a thorough evaluation of the plumbing.
You should also get an inspection if you notice:
- Ongoing water temperature fluctuations
- Strange sounds coming from your pipes
- Odors in drains.
Regular inspections can help you catch issues before they escalate, which will prevent more costly repairs.
