Greene's Plumbing & Heating - Los Angeles's Experienced Plumbing Service

Copper pipe corrosion is common in LA due to our water's mineral content. Our thorough plumbing inspection uses specialized cameras and pressure tests to check for pinhole leaks, green patina (verdigris), and thinning pipe walls—early signs of corrosion you can't see. Catching this early lets us recommend targeted solutions, like repiping or installing a water conditioner, before a pipe fails and causes major water damage.

Even minor tremors can stress pipes. Our post-earthquake inspection focuses on checking for misaligned fittings, hairline cracks at joints, and stress on water heater connections. We also inspect the main water line where it enters your home, a common point of failure. This proactive check ensures small shifts haven't compromised your system, preventing leaks that could develop days or weeks later.

While you can look for visible leaks, many LA-specific issues—like internal pipe corrosion or subtle earthquake damage—require expert tools and knowledge. Our inspectors use video scopes to see inside walls and pressure gauges to detect weak points. We understand local building codes and the specific wear patterns caused by our soil and water, providing a complete assessment a DIY check can't match.
