Plumbing Inspections in Summerville, SC

What Problems Are Found During a Plumbing Inspection?

Even plumbing systems that appear problem-free on the surface can have hidden issues.

Here are some of the most common problems we uncover during Summerville plumbing inspections:

• Hidden or slow leaks – Often tucked away in crawl spaces or behind walls, these leaks can lead to water damage and mold over time.
• Aging or corroded pipes – Old plumbing can restrict water flow or burst unexpectedly due to rust and buildup.
• Sewer or drain obstructions – Our camera inspections often reveal deep clogs that haven’t yet reached the surface.
• Water heater problems – From sediment buildup to faulty pressure valves, these issues can reduce efficiency or lead to failure.
• Inconsistent water pressure – Frequently linked to mineral deposits, undersized pipes, or unseen blockages.
• Outdated fixtures or shutoff valves – We often find worn-out or incorrectly installed components that could cause leaks or waste water.
• Improper repairs or unpermitted plumbing work – DIY fixes or code violations are more common than you’d think.

Catching these early can save you thousands in future repair costs. Let us take the guesswork out of your plumbing system in Summerville.
