Small Leaks Lead to Big Problems
Most homeowners don’t think about their plumbing until something goes wrong. A pipe bursts, a water heater fails, or a slow leak causes hidden water damage. By the time you notice, repairs are expensive and stressful.
What many people don’t realize is that water damage is one of the top causes of homeowners insurance claims. And most of those problems could have been prevented with a simple inspection.
What Is a Home Plumbing Inspection?
A plumbing inspection is a full walk-through of your home's water system. It looks for early signs of leaks, corrosion, high pressure, or safety risks. It’s not a sales pitch. It’s about protecting your home, your family, and your wallet.
At Water Heater Boys, we offer this inspection completely free to local homeowners. We do it because prevention is cheaper than emergency repairs. And honestly, we’d rather help you avoid a problem than fix one after it's too late.
What We Check During a Plumbing Inspection
Our inspection covers the areas most likely to cause issues:
Water Heater Safety We check for earthquake strapping, proper venting, gas shutoff access, and signs of wear or corrosion.
Shut-Off Valves We inspect under sinks, behind toilets, and near appliances to make sure valves are functional and leak-free.
Water and Gas Lines We examine exposed lines for corrosion, leaks, or poor fittings that could cause future damage.
Water Pressure and Expansion We test your home’s water pressure and check for a thermal expansion tank or pressure regulator, especially if your system needs one.
Drain Function and Water Damage Warning Signs We check for slow drains, potential clogs, and hidden moisture issues that could lead to mold or structural problems.
Why It Matters
If your home is more than 10 years old or you’ve never had a plumbing check, this is a smart move. Plumbing issues are often silent. You don’t hear or see anything until drywall needs to be cut and floors need to be replaced.
A free plumbing inspection gives you peace of mind that everything is safe, efficient, and working as it should.
Why It’s Free
There’s no cost for this service. No pressure to buy anything. Just a chance to help you catch small issues before they become expensive ones.
We also do it because we’re a local, community-based company. We live and work here, and we want to meet the homeowners we serve face to face. This inspection is a great way for us to get to know our neighbors, build trust, and offer something genuinely helpful.
If we find something that needs attention, we’ll explain it clearly and let you decide what to do. No sales tactics, just honest info.
