About Ochoa Plumbing in Des Moines, IA

A thorough plumbing inspection from Ochoa Plumbing goes beyond just your interior pipes. We assess your entire waste system, including the main line to the septic tank. We can identify blockages, check for proper drainage field function, and spot early signs of failure common in our Iowa soil. This proactive approach can prevent messy backups and costly emergency repairs by addressing issues before they become a major problem.

Absolutely. Low water pressure is a frequent issue in Des Moines, often caused by mineral buildup in pipes, hidden leaks, or faulty pressure regulators. Our detailed inspection methodically checks your entire system, from the main shut-off valve to individual fixtures. We pinpoint the exact location and cause of the pressure drop, whether it's a single clogged aerator or a more significant issue with your home's main supply line, and provide a clear plan to restore proper flow.

For older homes, our inspection is especially comprehensive. We focus on common age-related issues: checking for galvanized pipe corrosion that restricts water flow, inspecting sewer lines for root intrusion or cracks, evaluating water heater condition and efficiency, and testing for leaks at fixtures and valves. We also assess the overall health of drains and vents. This gives you a complete picture of your system's condition and prioritizes repairs to prevent the septic issues and low pressure common in mature properties.
