Q&A
My Bakersfield home has low water pressure. What are common local causes you see?
In many Bakersfield homes, low pressure is often due to mineral buildup from our hard water corroding pipes over time, or issues with the pressure regulator. We start with a thorough inspection to pinpoint the cause—whether it's a single clogged faucet aerator, a problem with the main water line, or a need for pipe repair or replacement. Our local experience helps us diagnose and resolve these pressure issues efficiently.
What does a full plumbing inspection from Big Boy Plumber include?
Our comprehensive plumbing inspection is designed to give Bakersfield homeowners peace of mind. We check all visible pipes for leaks or corrosion, test water pressure at multiple fixtures, inspect drains for proper flow, examine water heaters for efficiency and safety, and assess fixtures like toilets and faucets. For gas lines, we perform a careful leak check. You'll receive a clear, detailed report of our findings and honest recommendations for any needed maintenance or repairs.
Can you handle both repair and full replacement of a water heater?
Absolutely. We first diagnose the issue to see if a repair, like replacing a heating element or a faulty valve, is a cost-effective solution. If the unit is old, inefficient, or has a major failure like a tank leak common in our area's hard water, we'll discuss replacement options. We handle the entire process—safely removing the old unit, installing the new one to code, and ensuring it's working perfectly for your household.
