Plumbing is a critical aspect of building inspections as it plays a vital role in ensuring the safety, functionality, and efficiency of a building’s water supply and waste management systems. Plumbing systems are responsible for supplying clean water for drinking, cooking, and cleaning, as well as disposing of wastewater and sewage in a sanitary manner. During building inspections, the plumbing system is thoroughly examined to identify any potential issues or deficiencies that may affect the performance of the system or pose risks to the occupants and the environment.
