How Often Should I Schedule a Plumbing Inspection?

Most homeowners benefit from a professional plumbing inspection once a year. Annual checkups can catch small issues early and help prevent emergencies. Olympic Plumbing Technology includes yearly inspections with our Legend Membership plan.

Is a Plumbing Inspection Necessary if My System Seems Fine?

Yes — many plumbing problems develop quietly behind walls or underground. A routine inspection can uncover hidden leaks, corrosion, or code issues before they become costly. It’s a smart way to protect your home and wallet.

Do You Offer Plumbing Inspections for Home Sales?

Absolutely. We provide pre-sale inspections that identify concerns buyers or real estate agents might flag during closing. Our reports give sellers the chance to fix problems in advance and add value to their listing.

What’s Included in a Plumbing Inspection?

We check all visible piping, fixtures, water heaters, drains, and connections. We also test water pressure and may use cameras to inspect underground lines if needed. You’ll receive a detailed summary and expert recommendations based on what we find.

Should You Schedule a Plumbing Inspection? Watch for These Signs

A plumbing inspection isn’t just for emergencies — it’s one of the best ways to protect your home from future problems. At Olympic Plumbing Technology, we help homeowners spot potential issues before they turn into expensive repairs. Here are scenaroios in which you might need a plumbing inspection:

Buying or Selling a Home: An inspection gives you peace of mind and can reveal costly problems before closing.
Frequent Clogs or Backups: Repeated drain issues may signal deeper blockages or aging pipes.
Inconsistent Water Pressure: Pressure fluctuations often point to hidden leaks or pipe buildup.
Old or Unknown Plumbing Materials: Homes with galvanized or polybutylene piping may be overdue for evaluation. Especially if your home was built between 1940 – 1970, you could have Orangeburg piping which tends to fail before its stated lifespan and can cause BIG problems for your plumbing system.
Unexplained Water Damage or Mold: Hidden leaks and moisture buildup often require a full-system inspection.
Annual Home Maintenance: Preventive inspections can extend the life of your plumbing and reduce long-term repair costs.

We had a toilet leaking from our upstairs bathroom into our downstairs bathroom. Rafael did an excellent job explaining what was going on and fixing the leak. While he couldn't fix the rotting wood, he did refer us to a company that could. Later in the day we did receive a call from the other company which means he followed through on the referral! Rafael was very professional and thorough with his work. We even asked about a second potential leak that he looked at and we did find is a slow leak that will be fixed. I plan to use this company again in the future if we need any plumbing services.

Rafael is polite, very efficient, explains things clearly about the jobs, pricing, etc. He is conscientious, thorough and focused. He accomplished a good amount of work in a reasonable amount of time. He left each area clean. The company can be proud of this employee. He replaced piping inside a wall, the old connectors on work that was done wrong that caused a damaging leak, and replaced old valves under three sinks.
