A Plumbing Safety Inspection (PSI) is a thorough evaluation of your entire plumbing system to assess its safety, functionality, and compliance with plumbing codes. This comprehensive inspection includes testing the incoming water service pressure to ensure it falls within recommended levels, checking water pressure throughout your home to detect any inconsistencies or potential issues, inspecting P-traps for blockages that could lead to sewer gas leaks, and verifying the integrity of water supply lines. We also perform dye tests on toilets to identify leaks, examine faucets for proper operation, and inspect both water and drain lines for signs of leaks, corrosion, or other issues.

Additionally, our PSI includes a detailed inspection of your water heater, ensuring that it operates safely and efficiently by checking the T&P valve and, if necessary, draining and flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup. For tankless water heaters we will also descale, and clean the inlet water filter and intake air screen.

If accessible, we also inspect crawl spaces for signs of plumbing issues, such as leaks or inadequate insulation.

By conducting a PSI Plumbing Safety Inspection, we aim to identify potential hazards early and provide you with recommendations to maintain a safe and reliable plumbing system in your home. Give us a call today to schedule your Plumbing Safety Inspection!
