Everyone knows the excitement that comes with buying a new home or building. Your solicitor or bank will request that a building and pest inspection be undertaken, which makes excellent sense but have you stopped to think about the plumbing?

Over the last 50 years, Rapid Search Plumbing has come to rescue many clients stung with defective plumbing systems not identified during pre-purchase building inspections.

Generally, a building inspection will only give you an overview of the plumbing instead of a thorough inspection. Remember, Building Inspectors are not Licensed Master Plumbers and do not have the expertise or equipment to undertake a detailed assessment.

Sadly, one of the biggest traps of an inadequate property inspection is getting caught with ongoing sewer and stormwater drainage issues. A blocked sewer system or stormwater flood is sure to burst the new purchase bubble, and this leads to constant inconvenience and high costs at a time when your funds are stretched to their limits.

Sewer cameras (CCTV) are a quick and easy resource to inspect the current plumbing. With electronic location equipment, we can pinpoint and record the exact location of most issues enabling the purchaser to make an informed decision, advise the vendor and avoid costly drain line repairs in the future.

Our trained Master Plumbers will undertake all the necessary plumbing inspections to ensure everything complies with the code and functions correctly. It will be one less thing to worry about at an exciting but often stressful time.

It’s important to us for you, the purchaser, to get a great start in your new home, and we know that a thorough inspection today will keep you smiling in the future.

It is equally essential for the seller to be upfront about the general condition of their drainage systems and general plumbing, which will enable the sale of the home to continue without a hitch.
