Make Sure the Plumbing Passes Muster
Whether you’re planning to buy or sell a San Jose home, we recommend that you have a discussion about the house’s plumbing. Selling a home with bad plumbing is nearly impossible because of the uncertain hazards that leaks and burst pipes create. Cleanup could cost thousands of dollars or more and take weeks. Buying a home with unidentified but possibly serious plumbing issues isn’t recommended either. For these reasons, real estate agents often find themselves working closely with local plumbers on a regular basis.
Why Does Plumbing Matter?
First of all, as we mentioned, repairs can be expensive and hard to predict in terms of scope. No new homeowner wants to be faced with a big bill immediately after moving in. Potential buyers need to know details about the condition of a home’s plumbing before they make an offer. Likewise, sellers want to avoid embarrassment and needlessly scuttled deals. They want to know about any serious problems so they can schedule the necessary plumbing, sewer line, and/or water heater repairs before putting the home on the market.
How Plumbers Can Come to the Rescue
Home inspection is of the utmost importance when selling or buying a home. The process can help determine what needs to be repaired as well as the sense of urgency. As an added layer of protection, professional plumbers can help real estate agents and their clients by providing leak detection services, inspecting equipment, and recommending necessary maintenance and repairs. If a seller doesn’t want to repair problems with the plumbing, plumbers can also provide quotes for potential buyers.
