Comprehensive Plumbing Inspection Services in Kennewick, WA

Leak Detection and Slab Screening in Kennewick

A spinning water meter with all fixtures off is a clear sign of a hidden leak. We test the meter, check pressure loss and inspect for warm spots, damp baseboards and mildew. On slab homes we can follow up with acoustic and thermal equipment to pinpoint leaks. Catching a slab leak early reduces damage to floors and foundations.

Sewer Camera Inspection in Kennewick, WA

Many older homes have clay, cast iron or Orangeburg sewer lines that can crack, sag or fill with roots. We run a high-resolution camera from a cleanout to the city connection or septic tank. The video shows offsets, bellies, roots and breaks along with their depth and location. You keep a copy of the recording for your files.

Water Quality & Pipe Material Inspection in Kennewick, WA

We inspect your plumbing for issues related to local water quality and common pipe materials. Hard water can lead to mineral buildup, reducing pipe diameter and appliance efficiency.

Our inspection helps identify pipes at risk and recommend practical solutions.
