DIY plumbing âfixesâ can get expensive fast.
A quick reminder from Red Seal (RSi) Inspections: we regularly see âsmallâ homeowner repairs that turn into major issues because theyâre improper, unsafe, or not up to codeâespecially under sinks, around toilets, and at hot water tanks.
Common DIY fails we find:
Wrong materials (mixing incompatible pipes/fittings)
Poor connections that hold⌠until they donât
Missing shutoffs / improper traps and vents
Hidden leaks causing mold, rot, and damaged subfloors
Unsecured lines that stress fittings and eventually fail
If youâre buying, selling, or noticing staining, musty smells, or low water pressureâthose are signs to take seriously. A professional inspection can help identify issues before they become a surprise repair bill.
