Buying a property is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make. While building inspections can identify general issues, they often recommend that plumbing concerns be assessed by a licensed plumber—leaving you with unanswered questions before you commit.
At Trinity Plumbing, our Pre-Purchase Plumbing Inspection gives you a clear understanding of the property's plumbing condition before you buy. We identify defects, assess the condition of major plumbing systems, and provide practical advice on likely repair or replacement costs. Whether you're buying your first home, an investment property, or planning a renovation, we'll help you avoid unexpected plumbing expenses after settlement. Book your inspection today and buy with confidence. |

Yes.
Where defects are identified, we'll provide realistic estimates of likely repair or replacement costs to help with budgeting or negotiations.
How long does the inspection take?
Most inspections take between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the size and condition of the property.
Do you inspect inside walls or underground pipes?
