FAQs
Why is a routine plumbing inspection important for Blaine homeowners?
Regular inspections help catch small leaks, corrosion, and code violations before they turn into costly emergencies. In Blaine’s cold climate, pipes are more vulnerable to freezing and bursting, so an annual checkup offers added protection and keeps your system compliant with Minnesota building codes.
What is included in a typical routine plumbing inspection in Blaine?
Our licensed plumbers examine every visible water and drain line, test water pressure, inspect shut-off valves, look for hidden leaks with moisture meters, check fixture operation, verify water-heater safety settings, confirm sump-pump performance, and ensure that all components meet local code requirements.
How often should I schedule a plumbing inspection?
For most single-family homes, once a year is ideal. Older homes, homes with a history of leaks, or properties with large trees (whose roots can invade sewer lines) may benefit from inspections every 6–9 months.
Will the inspection interrupt my water service?
Only briefly. We may shut off water for 5–10 minutes while testing shut-off valves or draining small sections of pipe. We coordinate the timing with you so the disruption is minimal.
How long does the inspection take, and do I need to be home?
A standard inspection lasts 60–90 minutes. We recommend someone be present to grant access, discuss any concerns, and review our findings on the spot, but if that’s not possible we can arrange secure entry and email you a full report.
How much does a routine plumbing inspection cost in Blaine, and do you provide estimates?
Most residential inspections range from $125 to $175 depending on home size and plumbing complexity. We offer free, no-obligation estimates up front, and any minor adjustments (such as tightening a loose connection) are usually included at no extra charge.
