Terry's Plumbing: Reliable Plumbing Contractor Serving Seaside, OR 97138

During a plumbing inspection, we specifically check the condition of your washing machine hoses, which are a common failure point. We look for signs of wear, bulging, or corrosion that often precede a burst. For many older Seaside homes, we recommend upgrading to braided stainless steel hoses, which are far more durable. This simple, proactive step during an inspection can prevent a major flood and water damage.

Our inspections look for subtle signs of old pipe leaks that homeowners might miss, such as unexplained moisture under sinks, persistent musty smells, minor stains on walls or ceilings, and a gradual increase in your water bill. In Seaside's older homes, we pay special attention to galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes, which are prone to corrosion and failure over time. Finding these leaks early saves you from more extensive repairs later.

We recommend a professional plumbing inspection at least once a year for preventative maintenance. Given the age of many plumbing systems in Seaside and the potential for issues like pipe corrosion or hose failures, an annual check-up helps catch small problems before they escalate. It's especially wise to schedule one before the rainy season or if you notice any changes in your water pressure or drainage.
