Plumbing Pitfalls - Don't Let Them Slow Your Sale!

Here are the Top Seven Plumbing Red Flags:

• Corroded sink traps
• Leaking sink/shower faucets
• Slow moving drains
• Re-caulked perimeter of the fixtures
• Toilet bowl loose at the floor
• Water heater near end of life
• Corroded or pitted galvanized/brass pipe 

Vacant listing tips:

1) Disconnect hoses to outside faucets – the faucet can freeze & crack.

2) Shut main water off at the water meter, especially in the winter when
the heat can go out and pipes can freeze and burst.

A pre-inspection of your listing will flag these plumbing issues and others.
Call Roots Home Inspection for a pre-inspection of your listing and
prevent delays in the sales process.  
These items can be easily corrected.
