Yes. Our whole-home plumbing inspection covers supply lines, water pressure, shutoff valves, drains, the water heater, every fixture, and visible gas connections — with a written report sorted by urgency and priced.
What Is Covered
- Supply system. Visible piping checked for corrosion, scale, and failing joints, with pipe material identified. Water pressure measured at a hose bib.
- Shutoff valves. Main and fixture stops, confirmed to actually turn — a seized main is a problem you only discover at the worst moment.
- Drains. Flow tested at every fixture, traps and visible lines inspected, developing blockages noted.
- Water heater. Age, corrosion, T&P valve, expansion tank, sediment condition, and venting on gas units.
- Fixtures. Toilets, faucets, showers, and their supply lines and stops.
- Visible gas connections and appliance connectors.
- Hidden leak indicators — staining, dampness, and a water meter check.
What Adds the Most Value
A sewer camera inspection. It is the only way to see the part of the system a visual inspection cannot reach, and in Albuquerque neighborhoods with mature trees, root intrusion in the lateral is the most expensive problem hiding in most homes. On any property built before 1980, or with a backup history, it is worth including.
The Report
Findings in plain language, sorted into what needs attention now, what to plan for, and what is fine — with pricing so nothing surprises you later. Our technicians are not paid on commission, so a recommendation reflects the inspection rather than a sales target.
Common Local Findings
Hard water scale, corroded angle stops, water pressure out of range, aging galvanized supply pipe, unflushed water heaters, and missing expansion tanks.
Especially Worth Doing
Before buying a home, before or after major renovations, on rental and vacation properties, and annually as part of Care Club membership.
