HMS PLUMBING | Plumbing Services in Walnut Creek, CA 94596

A professional inspection allows us to check water pressure, look for hidden moisture, and assess pipe conditions using specialized equipment. For slab leak prevention, we specifically listen for the sound of running water under the foundation and check for subtle signs of corrosion in supply lines. Early detection is key in our area's soil conditions, helping us recommend targeted repairs or monitoring to avoid major foundation damage and high water bills.

Yes, slow kitchen drains in older Walnut Creek homes are often caused by grease buildup, which hardens in pipes over time. During a plumbing inspection, we use drain cameras to visually confirm the location and extent of the clog behind the walls or under the slab. This precise diagnosis lets us determine if a high-pressure water jetting service or a more targeted approach is needed to clear it without damaging your pipes.

Stay alert for signs like unexplained increases in your water bill, the sound of running water when all taps are off, warm spots on the floor, or cracks in walls and flooring—these can signal a slab leak. For grease clogs, watch for gurgling sounds from drains, water backing up in other fixtures when using the kitchen sink, or persistent foul odors. If you notice any of these, contact us for a prompt inspection to address the issue before it worsens.
