1.Clogged Or Blocked Outlet Pipes
This kind of issue we generally found while inspecting a new property. The construction debris/waste is the main reason for clogged/blocked drainpipe of pre-possession houses. In older apartment/house outlet pipe is clogged/blocked due to hair, grease, soap residues and other debris. Clogged/blocked pipe increases the internal water pressure in the plumbing system, and this can cause small cracking or even pipe bursting. Small crack in concealed outlet pipe/drain may cause water seepage on the nearby wall, and even mould can develop. Seepage also invites other terminates and other insects in your house. If concealed outlet/drain pipe is burst due to clogged/blocked, it may cause leakage/seepage in the room below the bathroom. Blocked outlet pipe may lead to unmoving water and bad odor in your apartment/house. By doing pre-possession or post-possession snagging from India’s first home inspection startup PropCheckup.com, you can avoid a severe problem in your new apartment due to a clogged or blocked pipe

Propcheckup team uses a water pressure meter to determine the water pressure in a particular plumbing fixture. High water pressure in the pipeline can cause pipes to bump against the wall, and this may lead to leakage or even pipe can burst. Faucets or taps have small parts like washers, faucet level, aerator, spindle, etc. can damage easily under constant high-water pressure. Constant high-water pressure can damage internal parts of your application like washing machine, water purifiers, etc. Due to low water pressure, it may cause a malfunction in the application like a geyser, washing machine, water purifier, etc. Low water pressure may reduce the water flow from your shower and jet spray.
