Hancock's  Plumbing - Columbia's Professional Plumbing Service

Absolutely. During a thorough plumbing inspection, our technicians use specialized cameras and tools to visually inspect the interior of your pipes. We look for the telltale signs of corrosion common in our area, such as rust buildup, pitting, and mineral deposits inside galvanized pipes. Catching corrosion early allows us to recommend targeted repairs or replacements before a major leak or pipe failure occurs, saving you money and preventing water damage.

Low water pressure is often a symptom of an underlying issue that a detailed inspection can uncover. In our community, common causes include significant pipe corrosion narrowing the water pathway, hidden leaks within your walls or under the slab, or a failing pressure regulator. Our inspection process methodically checks each component of your system to diagnose the exact cause, so we can fix the real problem and restore your home's proper water flow.

For older homes in Columbia, our inspection is especially focused on aging infrastructure. We'll check all visible pipes for corrosion, test water pressure at multiple fixtures, inspect your water heater for sediment buildup, and examine fixtures and valves for wear. We pay close attention to the materials used, as many older homes have galvanized steel pipes prone to the corrosion we see locally. You'll receive a clear, written report with photos and our expert recommendations for maintenance or repair.
