Our Technicians are able to provide a thorough Inspection of the Plumbing and Drainage services to a property prior to purchase. The report is in Written format as well as a copy on CD or DVD depending on your preferences.
The report will include a detailed written account of the Inspection with photographs showing any areas of concern.
The Report will also include Quotations for repairs if any issues require attention.
Some people ask why would they require such a service if they are already getting a Building & Pest Inspection?.
The reason is simple.
-
Although you may be getting a building inspection, this will not thoroughly cover aspects of the property involved with plumbing and drainage. As anyone who has had to replace existing drainage and or plumbing in a property will know it can be a very expensive excercise.
-
The side affects of damaged drainage or plumbing systems can have a huge impact on a property and end up costing tens of thousands of dollars to repair. A broken pipe or drain near building footings can create additional problems such as subsidence or even attract white ants or other pests to the area.
-
Most people when buying a property do not budget for an extra $ 5,000 - $ 10,000 or perhaps even more to repair or replace damaged drainage systems. Not to mention additional costs to repair or rectify areas affected by the repairs.
-
By having a detailed report you are able to make an informed decision as to the correct value of a property prior to purchase.
-
Additionally this will enable you to negotiate to get repairs carried out prior to purchase if necessary, or alternatively negotiate a better buying price so that you can allow for repairs to be carried.
-
It is similar as with getting a vehicle Inspection, this does not mean you do not end up buying your property, it simply means you know exactly what you are buying and are able to make better informed choices.
