Frequently Asked Questions

A complete plumbing system checkup from Downey Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning covers the water heater including age, condition, and performance, all accessible supply lines and shutoff valves, drain line performance at every fixture, visible pipe condition throughout the home, water pressure testing, and an assessment of any fixtures showing signs of wear or developing problems.
Most plumbing professionals recommend a whole-home plumbing inspection every one to two years. Homes over 30 years old, homes with a history of plumbing problems, and homes with older galvanized or cast iron pipes benefit from annual evaluation.
In most cases, yes. Many developing plumbing problems including slow leaks, corroded shutoff valves that will fail when needed, anode rod depletion in water heaters, and early signs of drain line buildup produce no obvious symptoms until they become failures. A systematic inspection catches these before they become emergencies.
Yes. Access to all areas of the home including under sinks, the water heater location, any crawlspace or basement, and all bathrooms is needed to perform a thorough inspection. A responsible adult should be present during the visit.
A complete plumbing system checkup for a standard single-family home typically takes one and a half to two and a half hours. Larger homes or those with more complex plumbing systems may take longer.
In most cases, no. Water is only turned off if a specific component requires testing or evaluation that requires it. Our technicians will let you know in advance if any water interruption is needed.
After the checkup, Downey Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning provides written findings describing what was observed, any conditions that should be addressed, and the recommended timeline for any needed work.
