Craig's Plumbing | Expert Plumbing Repair in Clovis, NM

Our local plumbing inspections include a detailed assessment of all your home's shutoff valves. We test them for smooth operation, check for corrosion—common in our area—and ensure they fully seal. Catching a stiff or leaking valve early during an inspection allows us to repair or replace it before it fails in an emergency, preventing potential water damage to your Clovis home.

Clovis's dry, expansive desert soil can contract and swell significantly with moisture changes, putting stress on underground and slab pipes, leading to shifts, cracks, or leaks. Our inspection looks for subtle signs of this stress, such as unexplained moisture in crawl spaces, cracks in foundation walls near pipes, or changes in water pressure. Identifying these early warning signs lets us recommend solutions like rerouting or adding flexible connectors to avoid a major pipe burst.

Understanding our local soil, we go beyond standard checks. We closely examine pipe alignment and support under the home, look for hairline cracks at pipe joints (common with shifting), and inspect the main water line where it enters the house—a critical point for soil pressure. We also assess drainage slope and look for sinkholes or settling in your yard that could indicate a problem developing with your sewer line.
