Did you know excessive water pressure on you home’s plumbing can cause a pipe or fixture to fail inside your home?
Obviously these types of failures can cause huge amounts of damage and can simply be avoided. A simple check of the water pressure coming into your home can identify a future problem. In the Lake Havasu City area, it is very common for water pressure regulators to go bad and allow water pressure to creep up inside our homes. After increased water pressure is identified, replacing the water pressure regulator can be done for under $200 in most cases.
Checking the water pressure in the home is something that will happen in every home inspection completed by Bayview Inspection Services.
Bayview home inspections will always include a water pressure check at the residence.
Bayview Inspection Services would like to wish everyone a happy and healthy 2018!!!!
I look forward to bringing homes and their owners together in 2018
Have you ever considered that overwatering landscape can not only waste water but cost you in the long run? It is a very common finding to discover water damage to retaining walls (and even the foundation of the home) from excessive water that works its way into the composition of the wall. Over time this will destroy the structural integrity of the wall and ultimately will cost the home owner considerable costs to replace.

Earth loaded retaining walls are especially venerable to damage when exposed to chronic moisture.
Home Inspection Finding Water Heater Inlet Corrosion
Sometimes issues that can plague a home can not be seen until you look for them. This was the case on this water heater inlet piping. Sitting high on the floor, the corrosion was not readily visible from the garage floor. Taking the time to look carefully at the entire water heater identified this potential issue that could result in water damage to the home and contents.
Issues like these are common during home inspections.
