Plumbing Pipe Advocate Now Urges Home Buyers Nationwide to Hire a Top Local Plumber for A Plumbing Inspection to Ensure the Proposed Home Does Not Have Defective/Outdated Pipes

WASHINGTON, June 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Plumbing Pipe Advocate says, "We are urging a residential home buyer to be proactive and hire a highly regarded local plumber to do a plumbing inspection of your proposed home. We do not have the same sense of urgency with a just completed new home. New homes typically come with a one-year warranty from the home builder-existing single-family homes do not. When a buyer purchases an existing home-it is incumbent on them to get a home inspection and a home plumbing inspection.

"We do not want a home buyer using a home building inspector for a plumbing inspection because they may not know what to look for, and even if they do-they might not tell you about what they discovered. The first question we would recommend a home buyer ask a home inspector is-does your inspection cover plumbing pipe, and how well versed are you on the topic defective or old plumbing pipes in residential homes or townhomes? Trust us on this one-please take our advice and hire a local plumber that has very good reviews. Use an expert for your proposed home's plumbing inspection. It should cost about $200 and it is money very well spent." http://PlumbingPipeAdvocate.Com

The problem the Plumbing Pipe Advocate discovered is a home building inspector may not want to tell the home buyer that the home needs a $10,000 re-pipe out of fear the proposed sale will blow up and an infuriated real estate agent will never use that home building inspector again. Home building inspectors are frequently in a very difficult position. Because of this possible conflict of interest on the part of the inspector the Plumbing Pipe Advocate always suggests the buyer find a local plumber with a sterling reputation for the home/townhome plumbing inspection. http://PlumbingPipeAdvocate.Com

Types of defective/worn out plumbing pipes a Home Buyer should be aware of Prior to purchasing a Home from the Plumbing Pipe Advocate:

• Polybutylene Plumbing Pipe: Polybutylene plumbing was used in millions of homes built in the United States from 1978 until 1995 coast to coast.
• Chinese Copper Plumbing Pipe: Chinese copper plumbing pipe was first introduced in single family homes in the early 2000's and it is still being used today. It is the opinion of the Plumbing Pipe Advocate that US homes that contain Chinese made copper pipe should be re-plumbed because the pipes leak, and or are subject to pin hole leaks. Chinese residential copper pipe has been discovered in California. It is presumed homebuilders nationwide have used nationwide. Chinese made copper plumbing pipes are currently being sold in the largest home improvement stores.
• Galvanized Plumbing Pipe: Galvanized plumbing pipe was used in the United States up to the mid 1960's. Homes that contain galvanized pipe should have these types of pipes replaced because they are at the effective end of their life.

The Plumbing Pipe Advocate is urging a potential home buyer to review an article from an insurance trade publication about defective plumbing pipes. http://www.insurancejournal.com/magazines/features/2013/03/25/285518.htm

The Plumbing Pipe Advocate's number one goal is protecting America's home buyers or homeowners from defective plumbing pipes. If the home buyer is aware of plumbing issues they can plan for a re-pipe before they move into the house. A re-pipe of a house is no different than replacing a home's roof. If a home's plumbing system is past its effective life span or if defective plumbing pipe or plumbing fittings are in the home-the home should be re-plumbed with plumbing products that are made in the USA and come with a warranty. In the strongest terms-possible the Advocate is also urging home buyers to avoid a band-aid approach or plumbing patch jobs as the cost may outweigh the benefit.
