- We provide a game plan to secure your home's plumbing system for years to come.
What does a 21-Point Plumbing Infrastructure Audit come with?
Main Supply & Perimeter Integrity
1. Main Shut-off Accessibility: Verify the primary isolation valve's functionality and accessibility in emergency flood scenarios.
2. Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) Stress Test: High city water pressure in PNW hilly terrain can shred internal seals. We verify the PRV is maintaining a healthy range (50–70 PSI).
3. Frost-Proof Hose Bib Evaluation: Inspection of exterior spigots for vacuum breaker integrity and freeze-protection compliance.
4. Meter Vault Moisture Check: Identifying leaks between the city street and the home's foundation.
5. Seismic Gas/Water Vulnerability: (Optional/Regional) Visual check for flexible connectors that prevent line rupture during seismic events.
Distribution Network
6. Galvanized Oxidative Assessment: Identify Brown Water indicators and internal scaling that restricts flow and harbors bacteria.
7. Piping Material Compatibility: Identify dissimilar metal connections that cause accelerated galvanic corrosion.
8. Thermal Expansion Tank Performance: Verifying the expansion tank is pressurized to prevent water heater stress and pressure in the walls.
9. Cross-Connection/Backflow Risk: Ensuring irrigation and heating systems cannot back-siphon non-potable water into the drinking supply.
10. Thermal Shielding & Insulation: A physical verification of piping in unconditioned spaces (crawlspaces, attics, and rim joists). Identify gaps in thermal barriers.
Water Heating & Energy
11. Anode Rod Depletion Check: Verifying the Anode Rod inside the tank hasn't dissolved, leaving the tank walls to rot.
12. T&P Valve Safety Discharge: Testing the Temperature & Pressure relief valve to prevent tank failure.
13. Sediment Accumulation Scan: Checking for mineral buildup that can force the heater to work up to 30% harder, shortening its lifespan.
14. Combustion Air/Venting Integrity: (For gas units) Ensuring carbon monoxide is exiting the home efficiently via proper draft.
15. Tankless Heat Exchanger Scale Audit: For tankless units, checking for the calcium buildup that kills efficiency in hard-water areas.
Waste, Drainage & Environmental Defense
16. Crawlspace Leak Inspection: A visual check for high-moisture or raw sewage discharge in the home’s substructure.
17. P-Trap Integrity & Gas Seal: Ensuring every drain is properly holding the water seal that prevents sewer gas from entering living spaces.
18. Ejector/Sump Pump Readiness: Test the ejector and sump pump for homes with below-grade plumbing.
19. Slow-Drain Hydro-Analysis: Identify partial blockages before they become emergency brown water backups.
20. Garbage Disposal Structural Scan: Check for mounting ring leaks that rot out under-sink cabinetry.
Fixture & Appliance Optimization
21. High-Stress Flex-Line Inspection: Check the status of washing machine and toilet supply hoses (the #1 cause of residential flooding).
