FAQs
Why are routine plumbing inspections important for homeowners in Crossville?
Regular inspections help detect leaks, corrosion, water-pressure issues, and hidden damage before they become costly emergencies. Crossville’s seasonal temperature swings and mineral-rich water can accelerate wear on pipes, fixtures, and water heaters. A yearly checkup protects your home, conserves water, and keeps your plumbing system operating efficiently.
What does your routine plumbing inspection include?
Our licensed plumber performs a comprehensive 40-point evaluation. We visually inspect exposed supply and drain lines, test water pressure, check all faucets, toilets, and shut-off valves, examine the water heater for temperature, safety-valve function, and sediment buildup, run a camera through the main sewer line (if accessible clean-out exists), verify proper drainage at tubs and sinks, and look for signs of moisture or mold under cabinets and around the crawl space or basement. You receive a written report with photos and prioritized recommendations.
How often should I schedule a routine plumbing inspection?
For most Crossville homes we recommend once every 12 months. Older homes (30+ years), properties on well water, or houses with a history of plumbing issues benefit from an inspection every 6 months. If you’re buying, selling, or remodeling, schedule an additional inspection to ensure the system meets current codes and can handle added demand.
How long does an inspection take and do I need to be home?
A standard residence takes 60–90 minutes; larger homes or those with crawl spaces may take up to two hours. We prefer the homeowner (or a trusted adult) to be present so we can review findings in real time, but if that’s not possible we can access the property with prior permission and email the full report, then discuss it by phone.
Will the inspection disrupt my water service?
Water remains on for most of the visit. We briefly shut off individual fixtures to test shut-off valves and may cut power to the water heater for a few minutes to inspect electrical connections. These interruptions last only seconds and we coordinate each step with you to minimize inconvenience.
What happens if you find a problem during the inspection?
We explain the issue, show you photos or live camera footage, and classify it as urgent, moderate, or maintenance-level. You’ll receive transparent, itemized repair options and upfront pricing. Minor fixes such as tightening a loose valve or replacing a flapper can often be completed on the spot. Larger repairs can be scheduled at your convenience, and we apply the inspection fee toward any approved repair work within 30 days.
