Home Plumbing Inspection Toronto

The residential plumbing system has two roles:

• supplying clean potable water
• removing waste water

A home plumbing inspection ensures that these two functions are fulfilled and that potable water is clean and safe to drink. It also ensures that waste water is removed in the safest way possible. Leaks in the drainage system may impact on the drinking water, causing untold harm to the health of residents from bacteria and gases.

Additionally, a home plumbing inspection looks at other issues relating to the safety of the property. The City of Toronto has set out plumbing codes that govern the use of certain materials and how it should be used in residential plumbing systems. These codes are aimed at preventing, among others, the following:

• contamination of water by lead fittings and other heavy metals, leaks in the sewage system, etc.
• flooding, as the result of burst pipes, sewer backups, etc.
• fire, as the result of incorrectly thawing frozen pipes, etc.
