Define what needs checking
A plumbing inspection can focus on an individual fault, accessible fixtures and connections, or the plumbing involved in a planned project. Tell us the purpose of the visit and any recurring symptoms. A general visual assessment and a sewer camera inspection are different scopes; specify if you need a drain line investigated.
Accessible plumbing and reported symptoms
Share previous leaks, recurring blockages, changes in pressure or hot-water concerns. Inspection findings depend on access and the condition visible at the time. Concealed pipework may need additional investigation or agreed access work. Discuss whether you need a written summary, photographs or repair recommendations before the visit.
Use findings to plan the next step
An inspection should help clarify what was observed, what remains uncertain and what repair or further assessment is proposed. For renovation work, identify the fixtures changing and whether their locations will move. A service inspection does not replace required municipal inspections or a broader home inspection.
Preparing for this North York service
Make a short list of the areas that need attention and any existing reports worth reviewing. Explain if access is restricted or some connections are concealed. Ask what the visit can establish, what it cannot confirm without further work and how findings will be documented. This helps distinguish an inspection of a known concern from a general request with an unclear scope.
Before your visit
- List your concerns and when each one occurs.
- Make shutoffs and accessible connections reachable.
- Explain any documentation or project requirements in advance.
