Looking for some advice. I'm currently under contract on a foreclosed
property. The
property has been winterized. The inspection has been completed except for
inspecting the
water pipes/system. My realtor and I were at the home when the company
showed up to de-
winterize the home. They were unable to de-winterize as the pressure test
indicated no
pressure.

What can be done? I don't want to buy a home without fully inspecting the
water system.

First thing I'd check is to make sure that all faucets are closed, including
any outdoor faucets.
It's pretty hard to pressure-test the system if there's an open faucet
somewhere -- and it takes
only one.

Is the water maybe shut off out at the street? As in possibly shut off
for non payment?
