When to Schedule a Plumbing Service Visit
- When buying or selling a Winnipeg home, as a pre-purchase plumbing inspection independent of the standard home inspection
- Every spring, after the freeze and thaw cycle, to check for cracked outdoor hose bibs and any movement in foundation-level pipe connections
- Every fall before winter, to verify pipe insulation in unheated garage and crawl spaces and test sump pump performance before the ground freezes
- Annually if your home is more than 25 years old, particularly for homes with original galvanised supply piping where corrosion is progressive and silent
