Plumbing can mean fixtures such as a sink or tub, pipes that bring water to the fixtures, pipes that drain the sewage from the fixtures, gas supply lines, underground sprinkler systems, heating pipes, etc. Our engineers check the plumbing for function, leaks, sufficiency of water supply, etc. One of the biggest concerns of many home and building purchasers is leakage.
Water dripping from a pipe is an obvious leak.
Other types of leakage can be difficult to detect. Often, all that is visible is a dry stain on a ceiling or a piece of duct tape wrapped around a drain line. Our engineers evaluate both the obvious leaks and the difficult to detect leaks. If problems are found, we provide written cost estimates in our narrative-style engineering reports . Regardless of the source of the water, it travels through underground pipes and into the building.
