Common Plumbing Items Found on Inspection Reports
If you’ve received an inspection report with plumbing deficiencies, chances are your issues fall into a handful of very common categories. Modern Plumbing sees these on Citrus County inspection reports regularly — and we fix all of them.

!
Seized or Failing Shutoff Valves
Stop valves under sinks, behind toilets, or at appliances that won’t close fully or are corroded

!

Braided Stainless Steel Standard
Supply Line Replacement
Old plastic, rubber, or corrugated braided supply lines under sinks and behind toilets are one of the most common insurance inspection flags in Citrus County. These lines can crack, burst, and flood a home with little warning. Modern Plumbing replaces them throughout the home with braided stainless steel supply lines — the current standard that insurers expect to see.
- Braided stainless steel supply lines installed at every connection — kitchen sink, bathroom sinks, toilets, washing machine, dishwasher, and water heater
- Whole-home supply line replacement in a single visit — efficient for inspection remediation
- Shutoff valve inspection at every connection during supply line service — we flag any that need replacement
- Old lines removed and properly disposed of
Braided stainless steel supply lines are far less likely to fail than plastic or rubber lines and are the standard required by most Florida home insurers. Replacing all supply lines in one visit is an efficient use of the service call.
Fixture & Appliance Shutoffs
Fixture Stop Valve Replacement
Stop valves — the small shutoff valves under sinks, behind toilets, and at appliances — are frequently flagged on both real estate and insurance inspections. A valve that won’t fully close is a liability: if the supply line above it ever fails, there’s no way to stop the flow without shutting off the whole house. We replace seized, corroded, or failing angle stops throughout the home.
- Angle stop replacement at bathroom sinks, kitchen sinks, toilets, dishwasher, and washing machine connections
- Quarter-turn ball valve style replacements — the current standard; no packing to fail
- Combined stop valve and supply line replacement in one service visit — efficient and cost-effective
- Main shutoff valve inspection and replacement when flagged
Flagged by Most Insurers & Lenders
Polybutylene Repipe
Polybutylene (poly-b) pipe — the gray or blue plastic supply piping common in homes and mobile homes built before the mid-1990s — is flagged by most home insurers and increasingly by lenders in Citrus County. Many insurance carriers will not write or renew a policy on a home with poly-b piping without remediation. Modern Plumbing provides free estimates for whole-home repipes.
- Whole-home polybutylene repipe with CPVC — free estimates, no obligation
- Mobile home and manufactured home poly-b repipes — a specialty; see our mobile home plumbing page
- Site-built home repipes — attic runs, wall penetrations, and all connections updated
- Documentation provided for insurer and lender — licensed contractor and permit on record
Tip for agents and sellers: A poly-b repipe before listing removes a significant insurance hurdle and often returns more than its cost at closing. We offer free estimates — call (352) 726-5601 or schedule online.
Additional Inspection Items
Tub Drains, General Repairs & All Plumbing Installs
Beyond the big-ticket items, inspection reports often include a long tail of deferred maintenance items. Modern Plumbing handles all of them in a single mobilization whenever possible — reducing cost and keeping your closing timeline on track.
- Tub drain and overflow plate replacement — corroded or leaking drain assemblies are common in older Citrus County homes
- Dripping faucets and running toilets — faucet repair and toilet repair
- Leaking drain lines, P-trap replacement, and under-sink repairs
- Shower faucet and valve repair — cartridge replacement and Delta trim upgrades
- Outdoor hose bib and spigot repair or replacement
- Water heater T&P valve and discharge line corrections
