Plumbing System Inspection Lancaster Rock Hill SC

The plumbing system is a key component of any home inspection. I inspect the interior drain systems, waste systems, vent systems, water supply, distribution systems, fixtures, hot water systems, controls, chimneys, flues, vents, and fuel storage and distribution systems. I can also inspect sumps pumps. Lastly, I locate the main water shut off device.
