Plumbing Inspection in Jonesboro, GA

Reasons owners and buyers book one

• You are selling and want no surprises from the buyer's inspector
• The water bill crept up with no change in use
• The water heater has no readable date or has rust at the base
• You have a contract on a house and a short due-diligence window
• There has been at least one main-line backup
• Faucets spit air or the pressure swings during the day
• The general home inspector wrote "refer to a plumber" in the report

Jonesboro's housing and water service

Jonesboro is the Clayton County seat, with a railroad-era downtown and a historic district. The median home was built in 1972 and about 69.3% predate 1980, so galvanized supply pipe, cast iron drains and aging laterals are regular findings. Clayton County Water Authority supplies water and sewer, and the city sends water and sewer problems to CCWA at 770-960-5200. CCWA's service line runs from the main to the meter, and the customer owns the line from the meter to the house. CCWA installs backflow devices at customer connections and tests them itself every year, so owners don't need to hire a tester. The City of Jonesboro handles building permits at City Hall. A camera run on the lateral is a sensible add-on for an older lot.

Why quotes differ from house to house

• The level of documentation you want, from verbal notes to a written summary with photos
• The size of the house and the count of fixtures and appliances
• A missing or buried cleanout that slows the camera work
• Access to pipes: a basement is quicker than a low crawl space or a finished slab house
• Adding video of the sewer lateral to the walk-through
• Testing add-ons like a pressure gauge reading or a leak test at the meter

From phone call to walk-through
