1. What is a plumbing inspection?
A plumbing inspection is a comprehensive look at your home’s plumbing system.
Your home’s plumbing system is a complex network of water supply pipes, drain pipes, and more. In a professional plumbing inspection, the following will be assessed:
Indoor and outdoor plumbing pipes
Sinks and bathtubs
Dishwashers and laundry machines
Faucets and showers
Toilets
Water heaters
Water softeners
Plumbing is one of the costliest systems to repair or install in a home, so it’s worth taking a look every now and then to catch small problems before they become major ones.
A plumbing inspection helps make sure everything is flowing smoothly.
2. Why should you get a plumbing inspection?
There are a few reasons why you should schedule a plumbing inspection, such as:
avoid costly plumbing emergencies
As mentioned above, regular plumbing inspections can prevent small problems from becoming large ones. The cost of a plumbing inspection will be far less than dealing with a plumbing emergency.
buying a home
When you're making a big investment, such as buying a home, it makes sense to catch potential problems before you sign on the dotted line. This is especially true of older homes.
selling your home
Plumbing inspections can be a useful selling point for prospective buyers. You'll be able to offer the assurance that all aspects of your home's plumbing are in great shape.
Plumbing inspections are a great idea for homeowners, especially if you’re buying or selling.
3. What’s the cost?
A typical plumbing inspection costs around $200 CAD.
Inspections that require cameras will be more expensive. Those can range closer to $500 CAD due to the technical aspects and the longer time required. They’re more thorough, though, as they take a look deep inside your pipes.
Compared to the cost of major plumbing issues, it’s a small investment for some peace of mind.
Most plumbers suggest that you have a plumbing inspection every two years.
If you have an older home, you should have it inspected more often. If your home is over 40 years old, for example, you should receive an inspection every year.
The regularity of a plumbing inspection depends on the age of your home.
4. Who should you call for a plumbing inspection?
A professional plumber is the only person who should perform a plumbing inspection.
They have the expertise, tools, and experience to do the job properly and provide you with a comprehensive look at your plumbing system.

“6 Stars (if possible). Had a surprise leak in the basement - called multiple competitors for quotes ($400-$500 range). Watersmart came and saved the day! Gave me my options on the spot - Had everything fixed and working perfectly for less than HALF!!!! I have also purchased a softener from here years ago in my previous house - if you consistently have a high water bill, or you’re forever buying salt, CHECK THESE GUYS OUT!!!! Actually amazed me how efficient their units are. You owe it to yourself - just make the call, its easy.”
