Re: Bank Repo
I think that a disclaimer is a good idea. I have one in the overview section of my report. BTW, it takes me an average of about 10-15 minutes to pressure check a hoome and I charge $10.00 (I'm thinking of raising that to $20.00. I use bungees to hold the toilet floats up and close the faucets/hose bibs. Make sure that there is a meter in place or that the main shut off is closed. You can't pressurize through an anti-siphon, but the washing machine is usually gone and you can use that connection. Make sure that the TPR and the water heater drain are closed. An 11 gallon tank charged to 120 psi will put about ~20 psi on a typical homes supply system with no leaks, but they usually have leaks in which time I refer a plumber because leaks were found and many more probably exist. I know that 20 psi is much less than will be on the system after it is charged with water and that this does not test the drain lines, but it will indicate a large leak.
