Petersen Plumbing: Reliable Plumbing Contractor Serving Wickenburg, AZ 85390

Our specialized plumbing inspection includes a thorough check of your outdoor irrigation system. We examine PVC pipes for hairline cracks, sun damage, and connection weaknesses common in our climate. By identifying these issues early, we can perform targeted repairs to prevent major leaks that waste water and can lead to soil erosion or foundation problems on your property.

During an inspection, our technicians look for telltale signs like unexplained soggy patches in your yard, a sudden drop in water pressure, a constantly running water meter when irrigation is off, or visible mineral deposits on pipe joints. We also perform pressure tests to find hidden cracks in the PVC lines that aren't immediately visible, which is a frequent issue with Wickenburg's temperature swings and soil conditions.

We recommend a professional irrigation inspection at least once a year, ideally in the spring before peak usage. This timing allows us to assess any damage from winter and prepare your system for the demanding summer months. Given the prevalence of cracked PVC pipes in our area, more frequent checks may be wise for older systems or if you notice any warning signs of a leak.
