Course Description
Inspecting toilets is about more than making sure they flush — it’s about identifying potential deficiencies that can lead to costly water damage, hidden leaks, or client complaints. In this course, you’ll learn how to thoroughly inspect and report on every component of a toilet, from the bowl and tank to the shut-off valve, supply line, flooring, and even accessories like the toilet paper holder. You’ll also see how to write clear, liability-protecting comments that explain the problem, the risks, and who should repair it.
What You’ll Learn:
How to inspect the toilet bowl, tank, seat, flushing mechanism, and handle/push button.
Common deficiencies such as leaks, cracks, loose fittings, faulty fill valves, and continuous running.
How to evaluate and report on supply lines, shut-off valves, and moisture conditions in surrounding flooring and baseboards.
Why caulking is important and how improper caulking can lead to loosening and leaks.
How to handle limitations, such as when moisture meters give false negatives.
Best practices for writing inspection comments that protect you from liability.
When to recommend plumbers, handymen, or flooring contractors.
By the end of this course, you’ll know:
How to perform a thorough toilet inspection, recognize and report on common deficiencies, and write clear recommendations that protect both your clients and your inspection business.
