​​Professional Plumbing Inspections at Affordable Prices in Columbus, OH

Some of the steps we’ll perform include the following:

To check for a leaky faucet, turn off the water to the sink and run your finger around the end of each pipe where it meets the faucet. If you feel moisture, there’s a good chance that water is leaking from one of those connections.

To check for a leaky toilet, lift up on the tank lid and watch for water pooling in front of it when you flush—this indicates that some sort of seal isn’t holding properly and requires immediate attention before more damage can happen.

Leaks can also be found around bathtub spigots by turning off all water sources (shower head included) while listening closely at this point; listen carefully as you turn back on each source until you hear any gurgling sounds coming from where it connects with its pipe work—that will indicate where there’s an issue with a faulty O-ring or other part that needs replacing ASAP!

Check for rust and corrosion on metal pipes and fixtures, especially behind the walls and under your kitchen sink or bathtub area.

Look for frozen pipes in your basement walls or crawlspace, which can cause major damage to your home if left unchecked.

Look at connections between water supply lines and fixtures such as faucets and toilets to ensure they are secure, not leaking, corroded or cracked.

Test water pressure throughout the house to see if it’s above normal levels.

There are many reasons why you should have a professional plumber inspect your home. Having a plumber inspect your home can help you avoid expensive repairs, potential health hazards, and potential environmental hazards. This will prevent unnecessary stress and frustration in the long run.

If you’re not sure if you need to get an inspection done, here are some signs that it might be time for one:

You notice that there are leaks or standing water around water softener, water heater, or other appliances

The pipes or appliances make loud noises when the water is turned on or off

There is discoloration of the sink or tub when hot water runs through it

The main sanitary sewer is the pipe that connects to your home and goes out to the public sewer system. It’s usually made of PVC or cast iron, and it carries waste out of your house through a hole in the street. Most houses have only one main sanitary sewer, but some homes may have more than one if they are connected in series (like a T fitting). If you have multiple main sanitary sewers, we’ll inspect all of them during our plumbing inspection.*

The water supply system includes all pipes used to bring water into your home from nearby sources such as lakes, springs and wells. This includes:

• Faucets
• Hoses
• Showers/bathtubs

Plumbers can find leaks in your water system using a variety of methods. They’ll typically use a smoke test, which involves the plumber sealing off certain sections of your pipes and then lighting them on fire to see if they produce smoke. This process is usually repeated throughout the entire system until all potential leaks have been identified.

Water leak detection dye is another common method of detecting leaks because it allows plumbers to easily locate areas where there are more than usual amounts of water loss occurring. Plumbers may also employ listening devices such as stethoscopes in order to hear gurgling noises emanating from hidden pipes; this is often an indication that there’s some kind of obstruction somewhere along that particular pipeline.

In addition, plumbers may use specialized equipment such as water leak detectors or even video cameras if necessary—but these approaches are less common than those mentioned above because they’re significantly more expensive and time-consuming (not exactly ideal for busy homeowners).

If you suspect there’s a leak in your sanitary sewer line, there are several ways to determine this. The first is the smell of sewage. Sewage will have a pungent odor that can be noticeable from outside the home or even down the street.

Next, look for running water; sometimes, you may hear it coming from under your house before you see it coming out of your sink or shower. If none of those signs are present, check your water meter to see if it’s spinning faster than usual. You should also check with any neighbors who share a line with you; they might notice more frequent usage on their end as well if there’s an issue with yours!

Finally, look at the toilet bowl after flushing: if sediment forms quickly in its bowl and remains on top after flushing, then there may be an issue with sediment buildup due to slow drainage caused by a broken pipe or cracked joint somewhere along that line between where the main line starts at street level and ends up in each individual house (in which case we would recommend calling us right away so we can come out ASAP).

Leakage from the toilet. The most common plumbing problems are leaks coming from the toilet, which can happen in a variety of ways.

Faucet leakage. A leaky faucet is another common plumbing problem that can lead to higher water bills and damage to your home’s pipes and fixtures.

Pipes that are damaged or broken can allow water to seep out into the surrounding walls and floors—and an even bigger issue if there isn’t enough pressure in the system, causing toilets not to flush properly or at all!
