channy1013 asked:

so we purchased a house (havent closed yet) and the inspection just got done, so there was a pre inpection done by the bank and it said the plumbing held pressure but not accurate bc ice in main supply line.

So had a professional inspector come out and we were not able to turn water on due to bank say so, so we air pressure tested it and it was not able to build up pressure at all. All the facuets and such could hear air coming from them when turned ‘on’. Could not find any obvious places or where air was coming out that it should not.

So could the leaks be in the walls
Could this be a huge repair
What do you think this would run to repair
Do plumbers need the water on to pin point and give an accurate estimate
*the bank will not let us turn water on til we close, but we dont wanna close til we know what we are dealing with :(

Are these sentences correct?
