Standard Building and Pest Inspections DO NOT cover Plumbing Inspections. BPG guarantees to uncover existing issues before you seal the deal.
Detect leaky pipes, corrosion, faulty fixtures, or hidden water damage before closing the deal on your new property.
Take charge & renegotiate your purchase price using our accurate repair or replacement estimates.
Gain insight into the lifespan of your plumbing system to prepare for maintenance, upgrades or repairs.
A pre-purchase plumbing inspection is critical for prospective property buyers as it comprehensively checks the home plumbing system’s condition and compliance, identifies hidden issues, and helps avoid nasty surprises after purchasing the property.
By revealing any existing problems and estimating accurate repair costs, a pre-purchase plumbing inspection empowers you to negotiate repairs or price adjustments with the seller and plan for future upgrades or renovations. Ultimately, it provides peace of mind and ensures a smooth transition into your new property with confidence your new home is functional, safe, and worth the investment.
A building inspection examines the property’s interior and exterior and evaluates safety, compliance with building codes, and potential maintenance or repair needs. These inspections are usually undertaken by a person with Building work experience, i.e. a Builder and not a qualified Plumber – this makes a massive difference.
A plumbing inspection concentrates explicitly on a property’s plumbing system, including pipes, fixtures, drains, water supply, and waste disposal systems. While building inspectors provide a broader assessment of the entire property, they are not always qualified to detect issues with the plumbing.
Our inspections are very thorough, comprehensive and carried out by highly experienced Plumbers.
Plumbing work is subject to various building codes, permits, and regulations to ensure safety and functionality. Licensed plumbers thoroughly understand these requirements and ensure all work complies with the rules. This compliance is vital for your protection and to avoid potential legal issues.
A professional, licensed plumber can accurately diagnose problems, provide practical solutions, and ensure all work is performed to the highest standards. In addition, all qualified plumbers will carry liability insurance that protects you as the homeowner and offers workmanship warranties. So if the same issue needs fixing again, they will come out free of charge.
Accidents can happen at any time – especially during plumbing repair jobs. If your plumber accidentally causes a water leak, flooding or damage to your property, their insurance should cover the cost, protecting you from incurring additional expenses. Furthermore, if your plumber is injured onsite, any medical or legal costs should be covered as well.
We have an initial Inspection Fee which covers up to the first 30 minutes on site. In some cases we can offer a Free Inspection. Please call us to find out more!
We sure do! 10 years in fact.
The actual inspection takes between 1-3 hours on site depending on the package, then another 1-2 hours in our office to compile the information into an easy to understand report (usually emailed within 24 hours)
A. No, this is mainly because a gas leak test must be carried out as part of a Gas Safety Inspection which is compulsory before a Gas Compliance Certificate can be issued and if a gas leak is found then the gas supply can only be left on after the leak has been repaired – the vendor may not be ok with this. If you move into the property then we recommend that you then have a Gas Safety Inspection carried out and a Compliance Certificate issued – if the house is on LP Gas this will be a requirement in order to have a provider supply gas bottles to the property – obviously we can help you with this at a discounted rate.
