Signs That Your Plumbing Is in Violation of Current Codes
It isnt always easy to know if your plumbing system complies with todays standards and regulations, especially if you installed your plumbing many years ago, and havent kept up with the changes. In most cases, youll need the assistance of a certified and licensed plumber who can perform a thorough inspection. However, there are a few red flags that homeowners can keep an eye out for, including:
Should You Get Your Plumbing Up to Modern Standards?
Some plumbing code changes may not negatively affect the safety or usefulness of your plumbing system. However, in many circumstances, regulations are altered for a reason. If your code violations are due to having an older home, then you may be legally grandfathered in. This means that legally speaking, you might not be required to implement the change. On the other hand, if the violation is due to a recent installation, repair or replacement, then you could be breaking the law by avoiding the correction. Keep in mind, that if you ever plan to sell or rent your property, youll need to bring all plumbing and electrical components up to proper standards, or face potential legal action. Therefore, its usually best to take care of any problems as soon as possible, so you can enjoy extended longevity and safety, while improving your homes value and preparing it for being sold in the future.
