A properly functioning drain and waste line system is essential for keeping your home safe, sanitary, and free from costly plumbing issues. Ensure your home’s plumbing is in good condition by having Triton Home Inspections perform a Drain and Waste Line Inspection today.
What Are the Risks of Drain and Waste Line Problems?
Clogged, damaged, or leaking waste lines can lead to water backups, unpleasant odors, and even structural damage to your home. In severe cases, hidden leaks or blockages can contribute to foundation issues or health concerns caused by sewer gas exposure. Even if your system seems to be working fine, small, undetected problems can quickly become expensive repairs if not caught early.
What Is a Drain and Waste Line Inspection?
A Drain and Waste Line Inspection evaluates the condition and functionality of your home’s drain pipes and waste lines. This inspection typically includes a visual review of accessible plumbing, checks for leaks or signs of water damage, and testing for proper drainage flow. In some cases, specialized equipment may be used to identify blockages or deterioration inside the pipes. The goal is to ensure your plumbing system is working efficiently and free of issues that could cause damage or health risks.
During our inspection, we carefully review your home’s visible drain and waste lines for signs of leaks, corrosion, or damage. We also check for slow drains and look for evidence of previous plumbing issues that could indicate hidden problems.
We assess the system for potential risks such as partial blockages, worn pipes, or poor connections. These hidden plumbing issues, if left unaddressed, can quickly lead to clogs, backups, or costly water damage inside the home.
To evaluate performance, we run water through the system to measure drainage flow. This allows us to spot slow-moving lines, unusual gurgling noises, or other indicators of problems within the waste lines.
At the end of the inspection, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining our findings. We provide clear recommendations for repairs or maintenance so you can address small issues before they turn into expensive emergencies.
