Metro One Home Inspection

Plumbing Inspections

Professional plumbing inspections throughout the Kansas City metro to help buyers and homeowners understand visible supply, drainage, fixture, and water-heating conditions at the time of inspection.

What We Evaluate

The plumbing inspection focuses on visible and accessible components, normal fixture operation, and observable conditions that may indicate leakage, deterioration, improper installation, or functional concerns.

Water Supply Piping

Accessible water-supply piping and visible connections are reviewed for leakage, deterioration, material concerns, and observable defects.

Drain & Waste Piping

Visible drain, waste, and vent components are reviewed for leakage, deterioration, improper connections, and other observable concerns.

Fixtures & Faucets

Representative sinks, tubs, showers, toilets, and faucets are operated to evaluate basic function and visible leakage.

Water Heater

Accessible water-heating equipment, connections, venting, relief components, and visible installation conditions are reviewed.

Functional Flow

Water flow and drainage are observed at representative fixtures during normal operation to identify obvious functional concerns.

Visible Leakage

Accessible areas are reviewed for active leaks, moisture staining, corrosion, deterioration, and other plumbing-related indicators.

Plumbing Inspection Includes

  • Accessible water-supply piping
  • Visible drain, waste, and vent piping
  • Representative plumbing fixtures
  • Toilets, tubs, showers, sinks, and faucets
  • Accessible water-heating equipment

Why Plumbing Condition Matters

Plumbing concerns can range from minor fixture leaks to conditions that may contribute to moisture damage, hidden deterioration, or significant repair costs.

The inspection documents conditions visible at the time of inspection and helps identify areas where repair or additional evaluation may be appropriate.

Important: A standard plumbing inspection does not include destructive testing, pressure testing beyond normal operation, concealed piping evaluation, or a sewer camera inspection. A separate sewer scope can be scheduled when you want the main sewer line evaluated.
