Electricity, water, waste water, gas, telecommunications - every property depends on functioning house connections. However, these systems usually run invisibly in the ground and are easily forgotten. Damage or blockages can cause high costs. Owners should therefore check (or have checked) at regular intervals whether all house connections are intact and up to date.
Water and wastewater: underestimated weak points
Outdated or damaged pipes can lead to backwater, moisture damage or water leaks. A TV sewer inspection can provide clarity, especially for sewage pipes. Backwater valves are also important - they protect cellars and basements from flooding in the event of heavy rain. For older buildings, a one-off survey is recommended - for new buildings, professional documentation is crucial.
Gas and electricity: safety first
The main connections for electricity and gas should also be checked regularly - especially in the event of renovations or after lightning strikes. An E-check by an electrician or a visual inspection of the gas connections by a plumber provides peace of mind. Anyone retrofitting charging stations, photovoltaics or heat pumps must have the performance of the cables checked.
Precaution pays off
Owners who know their home's infrastructure and have it checked regularly avoid unexpected repairs and improve its value. In the event of a sale, well-maintained building services signal professionalism - and can have a positive impact on the valuation.
Conclusion
Service connections are the foundation of modern building technology. If you don't lose sight of them, you protect your property - and ensure its long-term function and value.
