California Express Plumbing - Burbank's Trusted Plumbing Repair

Drought conditions in Burbank cause soil to shift and contract, putting immense stress on underground pipes and home foundations. Our plumbing inspection includes a thorough assessment of your water pressure, a check for leaks at joints and fittings, and an evaluation of pipe alignment. Catching minor cracks or leaks early prevents major bursts, saves significant water, and protects your property from foundation damage common in our area.

Burbank's water chemistry can accelerate copper pipe corrosion, leading to pinhole leaks and reduced water quality. During our inspection, we meticulously examine visible copper pipes for any blue-green staining, which indicates corrosion. We also check water pressure and flow at fixtures. Identifying corrosion early allows for targeted repair or section replacement, preventing widespread pipe failure and ensuring your water remains clean and safe.

Many older Burbank homes have original copper plumbing and are more susceptible to both corrosion and the ground movement from drought cycles. A professional inspection from California Express Plumbing goes beyond a visual check. We use tools like video pipe inspection to see inside lines, assessing the true condition of pipes behind walls and under slabs. This proactive approach is the best way to manage the combined risks of age and local environmental factors, giving you peace of mind.
