What a plumbing inspection covers
We check the visible supply and drain lines, water heater condition, fixture connections, shutoff valves, and water pressure throughout the home. We also look for warning signs of hidden problems, like water stains, corrosion, or slow drains that point to something bigger.
If the home is on a septic system, we'll look at how the plumbing side of that system is functioning, since septic-connected homes have their own set of things worth checking closely.
Our process
We walk the property room by room, checking fixtures, exposed piping, and anything accessible in the basement or crawlspace. Where it makes sense, we use a closer look inside your sewer line with a camera to check the condition of the main line without any guesswork.
Afterward, we give you a clear rundown of what we found, what's a minor note versus a real concern, and what we'd recommend addressing first. No scare tactics, just an honest assessment you can actually use.
Inspections in Westchester's real estate market
Homes move quickly in Armonk and the surrounding towns, and a lot of buyers and sellers want a plumbing check done before closing, separate from a general home inspection. It's a smart step, especially with the mix of older and newer housing stock across Westchester County — an older home can look great cosmetically while still hiding aging pipe or a water heater near the end of its life.
General home inspectors follow standards set by organizations like those referenced in the home inspection standards of practice, but a plumbing-focused inspection from a licensed plumber goes deeper on the systems that matter most to us — supply lines, drains, water heaters, and fixtures.
What affects the cost
The size of the home, the number of bathrooms and fixtures, and whether it's on septic or municipal service all affect how long an inspection takes. A pre-listing inspection for a seller is often quicker than a full pre-purchase inspection, since the goal is different.
We'll give you a clear price before we schedule anything, based on the property and what you're trying to accomplish.
When to call a pro
Call us if you're under contract on a home and want a plumbing-specific look before closing, if you're listing your home and want to catch issues before a buyer's inspector does, or if you just moved in and want professional leak detection service as part of getting to know your new home's systems.
It's also worth asking for an evaluation of your water heater's condition if you don't know its age or history — that's one of the most common surprises we find during an inspection.

Frequently asked questions
Should I get a plumbing inspection before buying a home?
It's a smart idea, especially for older homes or ones with a history you don't fully know. A general home inspection covers plumbing at a basic level, but a plumber can dig deeper into the specifics.
How long does a plumbing inspection take?
It depends on the size of the home and how many fixtures and systems we're checking. We'll give you a time estimate when you schedule.
Do you provide a written report?
Yes, we give you a clear summary of what we found so you have something to reference or share with a buyer, seller, or real estate agent.
Can you inspect a septic-connected home?
Yes. We check the plumbing side of septic-connected systems as part of a full inspection.
Is a plumbing inspection different from a home inspection?
Yes. A general home inspector covers plumbing as one part of a much broader inspection. Ours focuses specifically and more closely on the plumbing systems.
Should sellers get a plumbing inspection too?
It can help. Catching an issue before a buyer's inspector finds it gives you time to address it on your own terms.
