Absolutely. During our inspection, we specifically test the operation and integrity of all shutoff valves—a common failure point. We check for stiffness, leaks, and corrosion, especially important in our coastal climate. Identifying a valve that's beginning to fail allows us to repair or replace it proactively, preventing a future emergency where you can't stop the water flow.

Coastal air carries salt and moisture that can accelerate corrosion on pipes, valves, and fittings, leading to leaks and failures. Our inspection includes a visual and manual check of exposed plumbing for pitting, discoloration, and weak spots. We pay special attention to areas prone to moisture, like under sinks and near water heaters, to catch corrosion early and recommend solutions like protective coatings or replacements with corrosion-resistant materials.

You can expect a comprehensive, neighborly assessment. We systematically check water pressure, look for leaks, test all fixtures and valves (including the main shutoff), inspect visible pipes for corrosion, and assess your water heater and drains. We'll explain our findings in plain English, prioritize any issues based on urgency—like a corroding valve—and provide clear options for repair, giving you peace of mind about your home's plumbing health.
