Ashbaugh-Friesenhahn Plumbing: Local Plumbing Contractor Serving San Antonio, TX 78263

Many San Antonio homes receive water at pressures higher than the recommended 80 PSI, which can stress pipes, fittings, and appliances like water heaters. Our plumbing inspection includes checking your home's water pressure at multiple points. If it's too high, we can identify the cause and install or adjust a pressure reducing valve (PRV) to protect your entire plumbing system from leaks and premature wear, saving you money on future repairs.

We look for specific clues common in San Antonio, such as unexplained soggy patches or overly green areas in your yard, a sudden spike in your water bill with no indoor usage change, or a loss of water pressure in your sprinkler heads. During an inspection, we may also use specialized listening devices or perform a pressure test on your irrigation system to pinpoint the exact location of a leak, even if it's buried deep underground.

Beyond wasting a precious resource, undetected irrigation leaks in our area can lead to significant problems. They can erode soil around your foundation, potentially causing costly structural issues. They also create sinkholes in your landscape and can damage the roots of trees and plants. Our inspection helps catch these leaks early, preventing landscape damage, conserving water, and protecting your home's foundation from water-related stress.
