How often should I have my plumbing inspected?
The most expensive plumbing problem is the one you didn't see coming. Your home's plumbing system works silently behind walls and under floors, making it easy to ignore—until a catastrophic failure occurs. At Principle Plumbing, we strongly recommend a comprehensive, professional plumbing inspection for your home once per year. An annual checkup is the single most effective investment you can make in your home's long-term health and safety.
Curious about the cost of a whole-home plumbing inspection? It's one of the most affordable ways to protect your home and avoid expensive plumbing emergencies. Although pricing varies, a full inspection is usually far less than the cost of an emergency repair or the deductible for water-damage insurance claims. Scheduling an annual inspection helps us identify minor issues early and complete important preventative maintenance on your water heater, sump pump, and overall plumbing system.
Is this different from what a home inspector does when you buy a house? Absolutely. A home inspector performs a general, visual overview. Our licensed plumbers at Principle Plumbing conduct a much more detailed, technical evaluation. We test pressures, inspect internal components like water heater anode rods, check sump pump float switches, and use our expertise to diagnose issues a generalist would miss. We provide a full "Home Health Report Card" detailing our findings.
Why is plumbing maintenance critical for homes in this area? we bring years of experience's hard water is rich in minerals that build up inside pipes and fixtures, reducing flow and causing premature appliance failure. Many beautiful homes in our area have aging pipes more susceptible to corrosion. Illinois freeze-thaw cycles stress pipes and outdoor faucets. Heavy spring rains make a functional sump pump absolutely necessary. Our inspection addresses these specific local challenges.
What do you check during a plumbing inspection? Our comprehensive inspection includes checking your water heater (leaks, T&P valve, anode rod, temperature), testing sump and ejector pumps (float switch, check valve, battery backup), performing a water pressure test, locating and testing your main shutoff valve, inspecting all toilets for leaks, checking sinks and showers, inspecting appliance hoses, examining gas connections, and testing outdoor faucets.
What happens after the inspection is complete? We don't just leave you with a list of problems. We provide a clear, easy-to-understand report that prioritizes our findings: Safety Issues requiring immediate attention, Recommended Repairs for items currently wasting water or likely to fail soon, and Items to Monitor so you can plan for future upgrades. We then provide upfront, flat-rate pricing for any repairs you choose to approve.
Can an inspection really prevent major problems? Absolutely. Out of sight should not mean out of mind. Hidden issues within your plumbing can lead to thousands of dollars in water damage, mold remediation, and emergency repair costs. A single undiscovered leak, a failing sump pump, or high water pressure can cause catastrophic damage. Principle Plumbing focuses on preventing disasters, not just fixing them.

Our Comprehensive Whole-Home Plumbing Inspection
Our maintenance visit is not just a quick look-around; it's a detailed, systematic evaluation of your home's entire plumbing system. We provide you with a full "Home Health Report Card" detailing our findings.
Critical Systems We Inspect
We perform a comprehensive evaluation of the most important components of your plumbing system—the ones that can cause catastrophic damage if they fail.
At Principle Plumbing, we check for hidden issues that could lead to thousands of dollars in water damage, mold remediation, and emergency repair costs.
What We Check:
- Water Heater: Check for leaks and corrosion, test the T&P safety valve, inspect anode rod in tank heaters, check for error codes in tankless units.
- Sump & Ejector Pumps: Clear debris from pit, test float switch and check valve, test battery backup system to ensure it's ready for power outages.
- Water Pressure Test: Perform static PSI test to ensure pressure is within safe range (45-65 PSI). Inspect Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV).
- Main Water Shutoff: Locate, label, and test your home's main water shutoff valve—critical for preventing catastrophic damage in emergencies.
These critical systems protect your home from flooding, water damage, and system failures. Trust Principle Plumbing to keep them in top condition.
Fixtures, Appliances & Safety Checks
We inspect every fixture and connection point in your home to catch small leaks and wear before they become major problems.
Our licensed plumbers have the technical expertise to evaluate every component of your complex plumbing system and provide you with actionable recommendations.
COMPLETE FIXTURE INSPECTION:
- All Toilets: Check for leaks between tank and bowl, inspect base seals, check for "ghost flushing" that wastes water and money.
- Sinks & Showers: Inspect all faucets for leaks and corrosion, check drain speed, inspect under-sink plumbing (P-traps, supply lines, angle stops).
- Appliance Hoses: Inspect washing machine hoses for bulges and cracks—one of the most common causes of major home floods.
- Gas Connections: Visually inspect accessible gas lines to appliances for signs of wear, ensuring your family's safety.
- Outdoor Faucets: Check outdoor hose bibs for leaks and ensure they're properly prepared to prevent freezing and bursting during winter.
YOUR HOME HEALTH REPORT CARD:
After our inspection, we provide a clear, easy-to-understand report prioritizing: Safety Issues (immediate attention), Recommended Repairs (likely to fail soon), and Items to Monitor (showing age but functional).
With Principle Plumbing, you get transparent, flat-rate pricing for any repairs you choose to approve, empowering you to make informed decisions about your home's health.
