Rick's Plumbing | Plumbing Services in Carson City, NV 89703

Our inspections specifically check for the mineral buildup and scale from our local hard water, which can restrict water flow, damage appliances, and shorten the lifespan of your pipes. We'll identify early signs of scaling in your water heater, faucets, and showerheads, and recommend solutions like water softeners or targeted descaling to prevent major damage and inefficiency.

The expansive, clay-rich desert soil common in our area can shift with moisture changes, putting stress on underground pipes and leading to leaks or misalignment. During a plumbing inspection, we carefully examine exposed pipes, check for unexplained wet spots in your yard, and assess water pressure for inconsistencies—all potential indicators of shifting that, if caught early, can save you from a major repair.

Our Carson City-focused inspection is thorough. We check all visible pipes for corrosion and scaling, test water pressure, inspect fixtures for hard water damage, examine your water heater, and look for signs of soil shifting affecting your main line. We provide a clear, written report with photos and plain-English explanations, so you understand your system's health and any recommended next steps to protect your home.
