Plumbing Services: Are You Buying A House?

Buying a house is an exciting time. You finally find the perfect one where you can picture your family on a daily basis for a long time to come. There is plenty to do to protect yourself as the buyer and your investment in this house well before the papers are signed and the moving boxes are packed. Here’s what to know about plumbing services and water heater installation when buying a house. 

Check all appliances for potential plumbing services 

You can look at a house that you’re interested in buying however many times it takes for you to feel confident in your decision. While looking, be sure to pay very close attention to the appliances in the home, especially the hot water heater installation. You might not know exactly what you’re looking for, but it’s safe to say that any standing water, rust, frayed exposed wires, or broken pieces would be a red flag that the appliance has seen better days.  

Bring along a plumber

If you’re really unsure of what you’re looking for, you can bring a plumber along with you during one of your visits. While in the house he or she can closely inspect the hot water heater and exposed piping underneath the sinks of the home. An experienced plumber would be able to give you a definitive thumbs up or thumbs down on the plumbing services you may need after move-in. 

Ask for repairs during negotiations

When you find a home that you love and decide it’s the one you would like to pursue, the next step is to negotiate a sale price. If you or your trusty plumber friend identified problems in the home during your visits, you can use those to determine your first offer. Your real estate agent can also help guide you through this process. It’s also wise to have a home inspection completed once you’re under contract to purchase the home. You can also negotiate the price of the home lower still depending on the outcome of this report.  

Consider buying a home warranty for plumbing services

Once all the negotiations are done and the papers are signed, it’s time to move in and put your touches on the place to make it your own. At this point, it’s wise to consider buying a home warranty that will cover many problems, even plumbing problems, that could arise in the house over the next few years. Home warranties aren’t prohibitively expensive and there are many reputable companies that can explain the ins and outs of the product to you.
