Our plumbers show up knowing what to look for in Austin homes - from 1940s bungalows with original cast iron to brand new construction where rapid development sometimes meant rushed installation.

Our Plumbing Inspection Services in Austin

Every part of your plumbing system benefits from professional inspection, especially in Austin where extreme weather and shifting foundations accelerate wear and damage.

Indoor & Outdoor Plumbing Pipes

Austin's expansive clay soil moves with every wet-dry cycle, stressing pipe connections until they fail. We check your home's pipes for corrosion from mineral-heavy water, joint separation from foundation shifts, and damage that could disrupt water flow. Both indoor and outdoor pipes need inspection since freeze damage hits exposed pipes when winter storms arrive.

Supply Lines

Your supply lines fight mineral deposits daily in Austin. Even a small leak can cause significant water waste or damage with Austin Water's tiered rates. We inspect them for wear, cracks, and loose connections - especially under sinks where heat cycling and foundation movement weaken connections faster than in stable-foundation cities.

Sewer Lines

Austin's urban forest means oak and pecan roots aggressively seek water during summer droughts. We check your sewer lines for root intrusion, cracks from foundation movement, and blockages. Catching these early prevents expensive sewer replacements that hit older Austin neighborhoods with cast iron pipes.

Indoor & Outdoor Hose Bibs

That February 2021 freeze burst more hose bibs in Austin than the previous decade combined. We inspect each one for proper operation, freeze damage, and worn washers. A leaking hose bib wastes water and increases your monthly bills with Austin's tiered rates.

Sinks, Showers, and Tubs

Mineral buildup affects drainage differently throughout Austin depending on whether you receive Colorado River water or aquifer water. We look for slow drains from mineral deposits, leaks that attract termites in our climate, and caulk failures from foundation movement. Hidden moisture problems here lead to mold in our humid springs and summers.

Faucets and Kitchen Plumbing

Austin water wears through faucet components faster than soft water areas. We check for calcium damage to aerators, worn cartridges from mineral abrasion, and supply line deterioration under constant limestone assault. Kitchen fixtures work hardest and fail first.

Toilets

Running toilets in Austin waste water and money with tiered rates. We inspect flush mechanisms clogged with minerals, tank components corroded by hard water, and wax rings compromised by foundation shifts. That phantom flush isn't a ghost - it's calcium defeating your flapper valve.

Water Heater Inspection

Austin water heaters fill with mineral sediment faster than surrounding areas. We check sediment levels that reduce efficiency, heating elements struggling through mineral coating, and tanks weakened by our aggressive water chemistry. Most Austin water heaters need replacement sooner than expected due to our water conditions.

Points of Entry

We inspect where Austin's mineral-heavy water first attacks your plumbing. Pressure regulators fail faster here from limestone buildup, main shutoffs seize from minerals, and supply lines show early corrosion patterns that predict system-wide problems.

Outdoor Plumbing

From irrigation systems stressed by 100-degree summers to faucets that freeze when winter storms blow through, outdoor plumbing faces Austin's weather extremes. We check for freeze damage, ensure backflow preventers work, and identify stressed components before summer water demands hit.

When Inspections Find Problems

Plumbing inspections often reveal issues that need attention, from minor repairs to significant replacements. When we discover problems during your inspection, we explain what's wrong clearly and provide honest recommendations about addressing them. Our team handles repairs of all sizes, from fixing leaky faucets to replacing water heaters or repairing sewer lines.

You'll receive upfront pricing for any recommended work before we begin. Many minor issues can be addressed during the same visit if you choose to proceed. Larger repairs get scheduled at your convenience with clear timelines and expectations. Our goal is fixing problems correctly so your plumbing system works reliably.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do Austin homes specifically need plumbing inspections?

Austin water varies across the city - some areas receive Colorado River surface water while others get aquifer water with heavier mineral loads. Add expansive clay soil that swells and shrinks with our boom-bust rain cycles, plus temperature extremes from 100-degree summers to occasional hard freezes, and you've got plumbing that works harder than it should. Regular inspections catch damage before pipes fail.

What problems are most common in Austin plumbing?

Foundation movement from expansive clay soil, heavy sediment in water heaters from mineral-rich water, and aging cast iron sewer lines in central Austin neighborhoods. Newer developments deal with settling that stresses connections. Older areas like Hyde Park and Clarksville have original galvanized pipes that needed replacement years ago.

Should I get an inspection before buying an Austin home?

Yes. Different neighborhoods have different issues - central Austin has aging cast iron, east Austin sits on aggressive clay soil, and west Austin rests on limestone with different water chemistry. Construction quality varies widely depending on when your area was developed and how fast builders worked during boom periods. Know what you're buying before you close.

Can you detect slab leaks during an inspection?

Yes, we check for signs of slab leaks - unexplained moisture, pressure drops, and warm spots on floors. Austin's foundation movement from clay soil and temperature extremes makes slab leaks more common here than in stable-foundation areas.
