Granite Hills Plumbing - Sandy's Professional Plumber

Absolutely. During a thorough plumbing inspection, we specifically test all shutoff valves, which are a frequent point of failure in Sandy homes due to age and mineral deposits. We check for leaks, corrosion, and proper operation. Identifying a weak valve early allows us to replace it proactively, preventing a sudden break that could lead to significant water damage and a much more expensive emergency repair.

Sandy's hard water is a major culprit, leaving behind mineral scale that builds up inside pipes and catches debris. A professional plumbing inspection uses camera technology to see inside your drains, pinpointing the exact location and severity of mineral buildup. This allows us to recommend the most effective solution—whether it's hydro-jetting to scour the pipes clean or identifying sections that may need future attention—saving you from repeated, ineffective drain cleaning attempts.

Be on the lookout for signs like difficulty turning the valve handle, a slight leak or drip from the valve stem, or mineral crust around the valve body. If you notice any of these, it's a good idea to call for an inspection. In Sandy, valves can become brittle and seize up over time. Addressing it early is a simple repair; waiting until it breaks completely often requires an emergency call and can cause water damage to your home.
