Comprehensive Plumbing Inspection Services in Catalina Foothills, AZ

Pre-Purchase Plumbing Inspection in Catalina Foothills

Buying a home is a big investment, and plumbing problems are among the costliest surprises. Our pre-purchase inspection covers supply pipe type, sewer condition, water heater age and fixtures. We record sewer video and provide a written report your agent can use during negotiations. Many buyers use our findings to request repairs or credits.

Sewer Camera Inspection in Catalina Foothills, AZ

Many older Arizona homes have clay, cast iron or Orangeburg sewer lines that can crack, sag or fill with roots. We run a high-resolution camera from a cleanout to the city connection or septic tank. The video shows offsets, bellies, roots and breaks along with their depth and location. You keep a copy of the recording for your records.

Leak Detection and Slab Screening in Catalina Foothills

A spinning water meter with all fixtures off is a strong sign of a hidden leak. We test the meter, check pressure loss and inspect for warm spots, damp baseboards and mildew. On slab homes we can follow up with acoustic and thermal equipment to pinpoint leaks. Catching a slab leak early limits damage to floors and foundations.

Water Pressure and Supply Pipe Review in Catalina Foothills, AZ

We measure static water pressure and check the pressure reducing valve if one is installed. High pressure above 80 psi shortens the life of fixtures and appliance hoses. We also identify supply pipe material, from copper and CPVC to polybutylene, Kitec and galvanized. Knowing what you have helps you plan repairs or a repipe.

Water Heater and Softener Inspection in Catalina Foothills

We check the water heater age by serial number, look for rust, leaks and sediment and test the relief valve. We confirm proper venting, gas connections, expansion tanks and drain pans. Softeners and filtration systems get a basic function check and hardness test. Hard Arizona water shortens heater life, so these checks matter.

Fixture, Drain and Shutoff Valve Check in Catalina Foothills, AZ

We run every faucet, shower and toilet and look for slow drains, leaks and weak flow. We test angle stops and the main shutoff valve, which often seize in hard water. We also check for proper venting and gurgling drains. Small fixes like these are easy to plan for once you know about them.

Rental and Commercial Property Inspections in Catalina Foothills

Landlords and property managers use our inspections between tenants or before buying an investment property. We document conditions across units, including water heaters, fixtures and sewer lines. Commercial inspections can include backflow assemblies and grease trap lines. Reports help you budget for maintenance and capital repairs.

Plumbing Inspection Costs in Catalina Foothills, AZ

A basic plumbing inspection typically costs $150 to $300, and adding a sewer camera inspection usually brings the total to $250 to $500. Larger homes and commercial properties are priced by scope. Compared to an unexpected sewer replacement, which can cost $4,000 to $15,000 or more, an inspection is inexpensive protection. We give you the price when you book.
