Why Get Plumbing Inspections in Fountain Valley?

Plumbing issues don’t always start with a flood—sometimes it’s a slow drip, a strange smell, or a pressure drop you barely notice. That’s why getting regular plumbing inspections in Fountain Valley can save you a big mess down the line. We check your whole system, from shut-off valves to water pressure and drain flow. We also test for hidden leaks, worn gaskets, loose supply lines, and outdated shutoffs.

This isn’t just about avoiding surprises. Local Fountain Valley codes now require that main water pressure entering a home stays below 80 psi. We always test pressure during our inspections and let you know if you’re at risk.

Homeowners call us (714) 964-3519 for peace of mind—before selling, after buying, or just to stay ahead of costly repairs. Book a plumbing inspection today, and we’ll check everything out while you’re still in control.

Local Story: Pre-Sale Home Plumbing Inspection on Slater Ave

A couple on Slater Avenue was getting ready to list their home. They didn’t want any last-minute delays in escrow, so they booked us for a full plumbing inspection in Fountain Valley. Turns out, their water pressure was way over 100 psi, and the shutoff under the kitchen sink was completely corroded. We replaced the pressure regulator and that shutoff valve right away.

They were shocked they hadn’t noticed—said the faucet always seemed “extra strong.” Because we caught it early, there were no surprises for the buyer, and they closed without a hitch. We do charge for these inspections when the home is on the market, since they often require detailed reporting and coordination with agents. That’s why inspections matter, especially before a sale.

What We Check During a Fountain Valley Plumbing Inspection

We check for pressure issues, corroded pipes, slow drains, and signs of past leaks. We test the shut-offs, inspect under every sink, look behind toilets, and make sure outdoor hose bibs aren’t dripping. Most homes have 4–5 issues that go unnoticed. Nothing major at first—but they grow over time.

We also inspect your water heater connections and check for gas leaks near appliances if you request it. Everything we do is written down in a report, and if anything needs fixing, we’ll give you honest options.

DIY Mistakes We’ve Found During Inspections

People mean well, but we’ve seen some wild stuff. One homeowner used duct tape on a cracked pipe in the crawl space. Another tried sealing a toilet base with caulk only—no bolts. Some folks install softeners without a bypass, which causes issues during maintenance. We even saw garden hoses used in place of proper water lines. These fixes might hold for a while, but they always fail eventually.
