Potential plumbing problems are easy to detect if you know what to look for.
Use our handy checklist to determine the health of your plumbing.

Area of the Home	What to Check	Results	Why to check?
Water Meter	Read the water meter number before and after an eight-hour interval when no water is used.	Before: After:	If the reading is not exactly the same, the home has a leak and will need to be repaired.
Bathtub & Shower	Check faucets, drains, and handles for leaks; walls for moisture, water stains and soft spots.	Moisture: Water Stains: Soft Spot:	Stains on walls or flooring indicate previous water damage and are generally symptoms of larger problems that lie beneath. Run a few inches of water in the base of the shower or tub and let sit for half an hour to check for leakage.
Toilet	Flush the toilet to check for leakage around the base. Check for slow drainage. Check for soft floors.	Leakage: Slow Drain: Soft Floor:	A toilet should be tight on its base, and leakage around the base reveals a problem that Professional Plumbing Solutions can resolve. Soft floors indicate previous water damage to the area. Slow or no drainage indicates blockage somewhere in the plumbing system.
Faucets	Check for dripping faucets and leaks around handles. Turn off hot water faucet abruptly and listen for a hammer of vibration.	Dripping: Leak: Vibration:	Leaking faucets generally indicate worn out or loose parts. Vibrations or hammers in the plumbing system can be caused by full or loose pipes. Some minor faucet issues can be corrected without the help of a plumber but others require a professional plumber for sink repairs.
Water Heater	Check fist four digits of serial number (MMYY) to indicate age of water heater. Search for rusted or corroded parts, such as the ventilation shaft.	Serial Number: Age: Corroded Parts:	Water heaters generally last 8-12 years, older heaters with visible wear may require an inspection from Professional Plumbing Solutions.
