Like many other homeowners right now, you may be considering putting your house on the market in the near future, and you’re probably already working on projects to increase your property’s value. Making some plumbing upgrades is a great place to start! When potential buyers tour your home, they will be paying attention to every detail, from your flooring and paint colors all the way down to your bathroom faucet. Before you put the “for sale” sign out on your front yard, here are some plumbing upgrades that are worth making.
Fixtures
Over time, our fixtures go through general wear and tear because of how often they are used. A potential buyer will be looking at your kitchen and bathroom sinks to check if your fixtures are outdated. Upgrading your fixtures is significantly less expensive than completely remodeling the space but still enough to give your kitchen and bathroom a clean and fresh look.
Water Heater
How old is your current water heater? Do you ever have hot water issues? Installing a tankless water heater will immediately draw the attention of potential buyers because tankless models have a longer lifespan and are much more energy efficient than standard tank models. Not only do tankless water heaters heat the water on demand, but they can also save homeowners money annually on energy bills.
Drains
Just like fixtures, drains also go through a lot of wear and tear. Between hair, soap scum, food particles and other debris, drains need to be cleaned out regularly. Before you put your house up for sale, check your drains and run some water down them. If the water is slowly draining or accumulates in your tub when you shower, it might be time to call for a professional drain cleaning.
