Sheltex Plumbing - Stafford's Experienced Plumbing Contractor

During our inspection, we meticulously test every shutoff valve under your sinks, behind toilets, and at your main water line. We check for stiffness, corrosion, and minor leaks that indicate a valve is nearing failure. Catching and replacing a worn valve during a scheduled inspection is a simple, affordable fix. Waiting for it to break can lead to a frantic emergency call and potential water damage. For Stafford homes, this proactive check is crucial due to the local prevalence of this issue.

Absolutely. A key part of our plumbing inspection is examining faucet aerators, showerheads, and water heater elements for the chalky, white mineral buildup caused by our area's hard water. We assess the scale's severity, which can restrict water flow and damage appliances. Based on our findings, we provide Stafford homeowners with clear recommendations, which may include installing a whole-house water softener or using targeted descaling treatments to protect your plumbing investment and improve efficiency.

Our Stafford-focused inspection is comprehensive. We examine all visible pipes for leaks or corrosion, test water pressure, inspect drains for slow flow, and, most importantly, we prioritize the local trouble spots. This means a detailed evaluation of all shutoff valves for operability and inspecting appliances like water heaters and dishwashers for hard water scale buildup. Our goal is to give you a complete picture of your system's health, with special attention to the problems we see most often in our community.
