About County Plumbing & Heating in Cheyenne, WY

A thorough inspection by our team focuses on identifying hard water scale buildup inside pipes and on fixtures. We check water pressure, look for reduced flow at faucets, and assess appliances like water heaters for efficiency loss due to minerals. Catching this early allows us to recommend solutions, like water softeners or specific cleaning techniques, to prevent clogs and costly damage before they happen.

In Cheyenne homes, we pay close attention to older galvanized steel pipes and connections. During an inspection, we check for discolored water (brown or yellow tints), signs of leaks at joints, and areas of reduced pipe wall thickness. We also look for blue-green stains on copper pipes, which indicate corrosion. Identifying these issues early is key to preventing pinhole leaks and major water damage.

We recommend a professional inspection every 1-2 years for preventative maintenance, especially in older homes or those with known hard water. Think of it like a tune-up for your car. Regular check-ups allow us to monitor the rate of mineral buildup and corrosion specific to your home's water supply, helping you plan for repairs or upgrades on your schedule, not during an emergency.
