When should I have my plumbing inspected?

Have your plumbing inspected every 2 to 3 years by a licensed plumber. Schedule an inspection sooner if you notice low water pressure, slow drains, banging pipes, running toilets, or water stains on walls or ceilings. Older homes with galvanized pipes should be inspected more frequently.

Why It Matters

Small plumbing issues become major problems fast. A routine inspection catches leaks, corrosion, and blockages before they cause water damage or mold.
