About A.O. Reed & Co. in San Diego, CA

Our thorough plumbing inspection for San Diego homes and businesses is designed to identify current and potential issues. We check for leaks, assess water pressure, inspect fixture operation, and evaluate pipe condition—paying special attention to local challenges like copper pipe corrosion and stress from drought conditions. Our licensed technicians provide a detailed report and clear recommendations for any repairs or maintenance, helping you protect your property proactively.

San Diego's water chemistry and soil conditions can accelerate copper pipe corrosion. During our inspections, we carefully examine pipe integrity for pinhole leaks and corrosion. Based on our findings, we can recommend and perform targeted repairs or discuss long-term solutions, such as repiping with corrosion-resistant materials. Our approach is informed by over a century of local experience, ensuring we provide durable fixes suited to our region's unique environment.

Absolutely. While we have a strong portfolio in healthcare, education, and hospitality—including LEED-certified projects—our foundational expertise began with residential plumbing in 1914. We apply the same high standards of quality, craftsmanship, and detailed inspection processes to every home we service in San Diego. Our residential clients benefit from the same skilled technicians and systematic approach we use on major projects like the USS Midway Museum renovation.
