When buying a new property, there can be many unknowns, in particular for older homes. Happy Plumbing has found over the years, the tale end of property sales, where some Sellers have experienced issues with their drains for many years, with reoccurring issues such as ongoing blocked drains, issues with surface water during heavy rains and banging and noisy pipes behind walls. We have also seen time and time again, where some Buyers who have recently moved into their property, inherit the issues left behind, often costing the Buyer a lot of money to rectify. Buyers say, had I known about this, I would have made an allowance in my bidding for the property. It’s a classic case, of you don’t know, what you don’t know. Unfortunately, regulations and legislation have not kept up. The mandatory Building Inspection and Report does not cover Plumbing or Electrical. And considering these two trades are some of the most heavily regulated, it leaves the mind to boggle, why haven’t these also been made a mandatory requirement prior to sale.
That is why we offer our unique Happy Plumbing Pre Property Check. This includes a full check up of all internal and external plumbing fixtures, as well as a visual check of the sewerage system and where possible stormwater system, using latest drain camera technology to give you a fuller picture before you buy. This upfront check has saved our customers thousands to tens of thousands of dollars of unwanted surprises, giving them the knowledge and power to make a better-informed purchasing decision. Because let’s face it, most peoples homes are their greatest financial investment, and you want to be sure, there’s no nasty surprises waiting once you have the keys.
