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.

What Our Customers Say About Us

I had a severely clogged kitchen sink drain that I had tried everything myself to unclog. Finally called in the big guns at Olympic Plumbing. They sent us Technician Steven Shoopman and he went way above and beyond to make certain we have a long lasting, trouble free drain. He ran the camera down several times afterwards to ensure he got a good fix. When he spotted remaining grease pockets he didn't call it good enough, he kept at it until it was fully cleared. I was extremely impressed by his tenacity and professionalism. Definitely got our money's worth....thank you Steven, well done!!

Rafael is an excellent plumber. Honest, knowledgeable, helpful and great communicator. Addressed an outdoor backyard spigot issue quickly and carefully. The replacement spigot system is better and more modern than the original that came with the house.

I had Robby J. come out and take a look at my spare bathroom valves and we had some issues finding a replacement valve at first but we did find one. Since I have an older home it’s been difficult repairing/replacing certain things which has been incredibly frustrating. But Robby was a big help on walking me through everything and even provided me with some financing options to lessen the blow which makes me incredibly happy that I have options. Thank you again for really helping me figure out my next steps and what options would guarantee a long-term solution. I appreciate your time and what you do for the community.

Great job along with being patient and working with me to answer any questions I had! Highly recommend! Follow-Up 18 May 2026: First off, every employee has been kind and courteous. This actual physical installation of the system is great, the plumbing is clean and tidy and looks great. The problem is the system. It really hasn’t worked, or at least hasn’t worked like I expected. I get a maximum of 100 gallons of water before iron starts to appear in the water again. When I got the work done I was given three options, so I the middle priced option that was presented as a “good” option, but not then “best” or “Peace of Mind” as Olympic put it. Anyway, I had a tech come back out and they checked the controller setting and nothing seemed out of order. I am still having them problem, and yesterday 17 May, the system only gave me 60 gallons of water before iron/color came back into my water. I have another appointment today 18 May, and will continue to post updates. No one ever told me what kind of Iron is in my water, but I think the “Good” system option would still give me enough water to have hundreds of gallons. Right I have to regen every day, maybe twice because if our water needs. I hope they can come up with a solution.

Once he got to my home he apologized for the time it took to get back to me. He went straight to work. He had to snake out the sink three times. Finally got it cleared. He gave me suggestions to make clearing clogs better next time He was very polite and professional.
