It’s fair to say that as a homeowner, you don’t have an understanding of how frustrating and damaging a plumbing problem can be until you experience it and have to call in a plumber!
In the most annoying cases, an issue can arise, and you don’t immediately know where the source of the problem stems from.

At O'Brien Plumbing Wollongong, we will diagnose the starting point of any major plumbing problem.
Here is a checklist of what you should be looking for as part of a good household plumbing inspection.
Bathroom
In the bathroom, the things that you need to be taking a look at include the taps, drains, toilet system and even the seals around your bathtub and shower.
Any small problems with one of these areas can be the cause of a larger problem.
So, watch out for drains, taps, your toilet and anything that requires a seal.
If the seal is damaged, that can be the reason for a leak.
Kitchen
The kitchen is another area that is heavy in plumbing fixtures, so it requires a thorough check.
Your sink drains need to be the first place to look, they are very prone to blockages and damage.
Next on the checklist should be things like taps and shutoff valves, moving onto a garbage disposer if you have one, and then the dishwasher and refrigerator.
There is a lot to keep track of in the kitchen.
Rest of House
When it comes to the rest of your home, you can’t ignore things like your water heater, shutoff valves, sump pump, irrigation system, washing machine and of course, checking the
overall water pressure of your home.
