They know exactly what to look for, what to pay closer attention to, and they retain the proper technologies to perform their duty up to code. Most likely, they will address any concerns you have before you can bring them up. However, when the inspection is complete, this is the time to jump in with those pertinent new home plumbing questions. Not only will these questions give you a better understanding of the condition of your new home\u2019s plumbing, but they will also set a baseline for future monitoring, plumbing updates, and routine services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New House Plumbing Questions to Ask Your Home Inspector<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:24px\">Addressing Moisture and Water Damages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25ba Did you notice any rust or corrosion?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25ba Did you see any old water damage from past leaks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25ba Did the flooring around the toilets, tubs, and showers seem soft or warped?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:24px\">Addressing the Water Heater:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25ba Did the water pressure seem adequate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25ba Is the water heater the right size for my house and occupants?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25ba Did you check the temperature of the hot water heater?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25ba Are all the parts of the water heater working properly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25ba Were there any hard-to-see spots behind the water heater that might have a leak?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:24px\">Addressing the Water Softener:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25ba Is the water softener the right size for my house and occupants?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25ba Does my water softener need to be replaced or repaired soon?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:24px\">Addressing Plumbing Pipes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25ba What kind of plumbing pipes does the house have?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25ba Are the plumbing pipes in good condition?
