Plumbing Issues Can Be Costly



The problem with leaks in plumbing is that they cannot always be seen. The pipework carrying water throughout the home to the kitchen, bathrooms, Landry, and W/C is usually behind the wall linings.

This means a slow leak can go undetected for a long period of time causing water damage to the structure. By the time the water leak shows itself the damage can be extensive and the cost to repair can be high. 

A home maintenance builders report from A Buyer’s Choice Home Inspections can detect unseen moisture inside the walls. Early detection can save a lot of money in repairs. 

Worst of all the usual house insurance does not normally cover “gradual damage” from slow leaks. A bust pipe which floods the house would be covered but not a slowly leaking pipe behind a shower for example.

To strip out a leaking shower, repair the floor, wall, and reinstall the shower can cost thousands of dollars. Having an A Buyer’s Choice Home Inspections building report produced as part of a home maintenance 

programme can be a wise investment.
