Professional Plumbing Company in San Pedro, CA 90731 - Balov Plumbing

Our comprehensive plumbing inspection includes checking all appliance connections, including your washing machine hoses. We look for signs of wear, bulging, or brittleness that are common causes of sudden bursts. By identifying and replacing a weak hose before it fails, we can help you avoid the significant water damage and costly cleanup that often follows a laundry room flood.

During our inspection, we specifically examine your copper pipes for the greenish-blue stains or pitting that indicate corrosion, a frequent issue in our area due to water chemistry and age. We assess the extent of the corrosion, check water pressure, and test for leaks. This allows us to recommend targeted repairs or replacements for only the affected sections, potentially saving you from a full re-pipe and preventing leaks inside your walls.

We recommend a professional inspection every 1-2 years for most homes. Given the prevalence of issues like corrosion and aging supply lines here in San Pedro, regular check-ups are a smart, preventative measure. It's also wise to schedule an inspection before buying an older home or if you notice any changes in water pressure, discoloration, or hear unusual sounds from your pipes.
