Plumbing Inspection in Dacula, GA

When an inspection makes sense

• An offer is accepted and the clock on inspections has started
• You want a repair list in hand before listing the house
• There has been at least one main-line backup

• The water heater has no readable date or has rust at the base
• You plan to remodel a kitchen or bathroom and want to know what is behind the walls

What's different in Dacula

Dacula is a small eastern Gwinnett city whose housing is mostly young: the median home dates to 1999 and only about 12.5% predate 1980. Water comes from Gwinnett County's Department of Water Resources, which treats Lake Lanier water, and Gwinnett's water is soft. The county owns the pipes up to the meter; everything between the meter and the house is the owner's. Sewer is the part to confirm. Some Dacula properties are not on municipal sewer and instead use a private onsite wastewater system, which falls under Gwinnett Environmental Health. A plumber can inspect the house drains and the line leading out, but the onsite system itself is a separate evaluation. The City of Dacula issues its own building permits at City Hall on Harbins Road, and its inspector checks plumbing rough-ins.

What goes into the quote

• Extras such as a meter leak test, pressure reading or gas line check
• The level of documentation you want, from verbal notes to a written summary with photos
• Whether a usable cleanout exists for the camera, or one has to be found
• Access to pipes: a basement is quicker than a low crawl space or a finished slab house
• The number of baths, kitchens and laundry hookups
• Adding video of the sewer lateral to the walk-through
