Plumbing Prep Before Selling Your Home

Do you have plans to sell or rent your residential property? Having quality plumbing is essential if you want to attract home buyers. Todays information rich environment provides unprecedented opportunities for people to educate themselves. That means signs of corroding pipes, water leaks and outdated fixtures will be apparent when your house is on the market. At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Pittsburgh, PA, were excited to provide local home and business owners with premium services including plumbing inspections, leak detection, clog removal, pipe installation and replacement and more. Not sure which plumbing upgrades matter most? Heres a list of some of the most effective plumbing preparations you can make to improve your chances of getting your full asking price.

Make Sure Your Plumbing System is Up to Current Codes

The most important factor is ensuring your plumbing is in compliant with current codes. If your home was recently built, there may not need a lot of work. On the other hand, if you inherited a home built in the 1970s, then theres likely to be a long list of required replacements and installations. Be sure to contact a reputable local plumber who can perform a thorough inspection. A certified plumber will be familiar with the current regulations in their area, and will be able to help modernize your system.

Replace Faucets and Fixtures

While its vital that your plumbing is up to date on all codes, aesthetic appeal is also very important for home buyers. If you have outdated, damaged or discolored sinks, tubs, faucets and toilets, then it will significantly impact the value of your home. Many of these items are affordable to replace, and will boost your chances of selling fast.

Replace or Line Old Pipes

Many people in the market for a new home will ask when your plumbing system was installed. If its been over a decade, individuals will likely see this as a significant cost theyll have to absorb in the future. If youve already lined or replaced your old pipes, then they will be excited to know they can enjoy a fresh plumbing system for many years to come.

Schedule a Hydro Jetting Service to Remove Clogs and Build Up

Your home may have been built more recently. If so, then a pipe replacement may be an unnecessary expense. However, you can show potential buyers that youve refreshed the plumbing system by investing in a complete hydro jetting service. Hydro jetting uses powerful jets of water to remove years worth of accumulated debris, root growth and grease from the walls of your pipes.
