Yes, checking all shutoff valves is a standard part of our plumbing inspection. Faulty valves are a frequent issue for homeowners here. We test them for proper operation and look for leaks or corrosion. Identifying a broken valve early means we can replace it before a simple plumbing repair turns into a situation where you can't shut off the water to your home.

We recommend a professional plumbing inspection every 1-2 years for preventative maintenance, especially in older homes. This routine check is crucial for monitoring the health of systems like cast iron pipes and shutoff valves. It gives you peace of mind and helps us create a long-term maintenance plan to protect your home from the unexpected plumbing issues common in our area.
