What We Check

Our Annual Plumbing
Inspection Includes

A comprehensive inspection covers every plumbing system in your home — not just the obvious stuff.

🚰
All Visible Supply Lines
We inspect every visible supply line under sinks, behind toilets, and at appliances for signs of corrosion, wear, or impending failure.
🚿
Drain Flow Testing
Every drain in the home is flow-tested. Slow drains are identified and addressed before they become full blockages.
🔥
Water Heater Inspection
We check anode rod condition, temperature and pressure relief valve, sediment level, and burner or element operation.
🚽
Toilet Operation
All toilets are inspected for running, weak flush, loose connections, and signs of flange or wax ring failure.
💧
Leak Checks
We check all accessible connections, shut-off valves, and fixture supply lines for drips, corrosion, or mineral deposits indicating slow leaks.
📹
Sewer Line Camera
Optional HD camera inspection of your main sewer line to catch root intrusion, buildup, or damage before a backup occurs.
Why It Matters in LA

Why LA Homes Need
Regular Plumbing Inspections

Los Angeles has specific environmental factors that accelerate plumbing wear faster than most parts of the country.

💧
Hard Water
LA's water supply has high mineral content that deposits scale inside pipes, water heaters, and fixtures — reducing efficiency and lifespan over time.
🌳
Tree Root Intrusion
The valley's mature tree canopy is beautiful — and relentless at invading sewer lines. Annual inspection catches root intrusion before it causes a backup.
🏚️
Aging Housing Stock
Much of the SFV was built in the 1950s–70s with plumbing systems now 50–70 years old. Regular inspection tracks deterioration and plans replacement before failure.
🌍
Seismic Activity
LA earthquakes — even minor ones — can shift pipes, separate joints, and create slow leaks that go undetected for months without inspection.
🌡️
Temperature Cycling
LA's hot summers and cool winters cause pipe expansion and contraction that stresses joints and fittings over time.
💰
Cost of Emergencies
Emergency plumbing service, water damage repair, mold remediation, and structural repairs from undetected leaks dwarf the cost of annual preventative inspection.

Common Questions
