An inspection is\none of the most important tasks to follow through with because it will serve to\nlocate minor problems or needs early on, which prevents costly, invasive\nplumbing disasters down the line. It can also help set up your home for optimal\nplumbing efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find Your Main Water Shut-Off Valve <\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>During your plumbing inspection, your contractor will show\nyou where your home\u2019s main water shut-off valve is located. This will be\nincredibly important to you if you ever experience a plumbing emergency or water\nleak, or simply need to leave out of town for a trip. Be sure to learn how to\nmove and operate your valve during your inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have Your Drains Cleaned<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Although this is not as important for new construction\nhomes, professional drain cleaning is a must for anyone moving into a house\nthat was previously occupied. You would be astonished to learn what plumbers\nfind in pipes and fixtures during a drain cleaning project. Things like\nfeminine hygiene products, paper towels, dental floss, hair accessories, and\neven small toys are common. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These things can cause major blockages and inefficient performance, all of which costs you money. Once you have your drains cleaned professionally, be sure to maintain their condition with routine, DIY drain cleaning.

It is recommended to cover outdoor exposed plumbing pipes, and detach all garden hoses from their spigots. This will help prevent frozen pipes, which can ultimately lead to burst pipes in the spring.
