About Clark's Plumbing & Heating in Durango, CO

Our comprehensive plumbing inspection goes beyond just clearing the immediate clog. We examine your entire drainage system for scale buildup, pipe corrosion, and other issues common with Durango's hard water. This helps us identify the root cause of repeated clogs and recommend a lasting solution, which often includes water softener advice or specific pipe treatments to prevent future problems.

Absolutely. Water softener problems are a frequent issue we address in Durango homes. As part of our detailed plumbing inspection, we will test your home's water hardness, evaluate your softener's performance, check for salt bridges or resin bed issues, and ensure it's properly connected and cycling. We can diagnose whether it needs repair, adjustment, or replacement to effectively protect your pipes and appliances.

Our local expertise guides our inspection checklist. We specifically look for signs of mineral scale buildup in pipes and water heaters, check water pressure (which can affect softener performance), inspect for leaks in vulnerable areas, and assess the condition of fixtures exposed to hard water. This proactive approach is tailored to Durango's conditions, helping us catch small problems before they lead to major clogs or system failures.
