Ark Plumbing & Heating - Salida's Trusted Plumber

A burst washing machine hose is one of the most common and damaging plumbing failures. During our comprehensive inspection, we specifically check the condition and age of your washing machine supply hoses for signs of wear, bulging, or brittleness. We'll advise if it's time for a proactive replacement with reinforced, braided stainless steel hoses—a simple, affordable step that can prevent thousands of dollars in water damage to your floors and walls.

Root intrusion is a frequent problem in our area as trees seek water sources. Our inspection includes a video camera sewer line scan. We send a specialized camera down your main sewer line to visually inspect for hairline cracks, offset joints, and, most importantly, the early signs of root infiltration. Catching roots early allows for non-invasive removal and can help you plan for preventive solutions like root barriers, avoiding a full sewer line backup.

We recommend a full-system plumbing inspection at least every two years for most homes. For older homes in Salida with original plumbing or properties with large, mature trees near sewer lines, an annual inspection is a wise investment. This regular check-up allows us to monitor the health of pipes, water heaters, and fixtures, helping you budget for maintenance and avoid the surprise and expense of a major failure during our cold winters or busy summers.
