Sandia Plumbing & Heating: Reliable Plumbing Company Serving Albuquerque, NM 87107

A toilet seal (wax ring) leak is often silent and can damage your subfloor without obvious signs. Our plumbing inspection uses specialized tools to check for moisture and integrity around your toilet's base. Catching this early prevents extensive, costly repairs to your flooring and structure, which is especially important in our dry climate where hidden damage can go unnoticed.

Our inspection focuses on identifying mineral scale buildup from our hard water, which narrows pipes and causes slow drains. We use cameras to visually inspect drain lines for this scale accumulation, often in older homes. Identifying the extent of the buildup allows us to recommend the most effective solution, whether it's hydro-jetting or targeted descaling, to restore proper flow and prevent future clogs.

We advise against chemical drain cleaners for Albuquerque's common mineral clogs. They often don't dissolve the scale and can damage your pipes. A professional inspection is the safer, more effective first step. It determines if the slowdown is from mineral deposits, a partial blockage, or another issue, ensuring we apply the right, long-lasting fix without risking harm to your plumbing system.
