About Mullen Edward Plumbing in Hillsboro, OR

Our comprehensive plumbing inspection specifically checks for signs of corrosion, which is a frequent issue due to local water conditions. We assess pipe material, water pressure, and look for discoloration or leaks that indicate weakening. Catching corrosion early can prevent major leaks, water damage, and the need for full repiping, saving Hillsboro homeowners significant expense and hassle.

During a water heater inspection, we test the temperature and pressure relief valve, check for leaks, and examine the anode rod. Crucially, we assess for sediment buildup—a common problem here that reduces efficiency and can lead to overheating and failure. We can often flush the tank to remove sediment, restoring efficiency and extending the life of your unit.

Many plumbing issues, like slow corrosion or initial sediment accumulation, are silent problems. A routine inspection acts as preventive maintenance. For Hillsboro homeowners, it's a proactive step to identify small issues before they become emergencies like burst pipes or a failed water heater, ensuring your system runs reliably and helping you avoid unexpected repair bills.
