Plumbing Inspections for Matthews Homes
Matthews is about 55 minutes from Landis. Many homes here were built from the 1970s through the 1990s, so inspections often look for polybutylene pipe, pinhole leaks in copper and aging sewer lines. A sewer camera inspection is worth adding on older homes with mature trees.
