The service is limited to the agreed plumbing scope. It does not replace a registered home inspector, engineer, lawyer, condominium document review or a warranty against concealed defects.
When a plumbing-focused review can help
- Before purchasing a house or condo when plumbing conditions need closer review
- After a sale when documenting visible plumbing conditions or planning accepted corrections
- Before a renovation changes fixtures, piping or layout
- When a condo requires plumbing information, coordination or an approved-contractor process
What the inspection can include
The exact checklist must be agreed in writing. A typical plumbing-focused visual review may consider accessible fixtures, shutoffs, visible supply and drain connections, signs of leakage or prior access, water-flow observations and questions that need further investigation.
Permit application assistance
For accepted plumbing work, Raccoon Plumbing can help identify the plumbing scope and information needed for an application. Municipal requirements vary by project and location. The applicable municipality—not Raccoon Plumbing—decides whether a permit is required, what documents are acceptable and whether an application is approved.
