Why Choose Homewerx?

Inspections Find Problems Before They Find You

A proactive plumbing inspection identifies developing issues — slow leaks, corroding pipes, failing valves — while they're still cheap to fix. Waiting for failure turns a $200 repair into a $5,000 emergency.

Home Buyers Need Independent Plumbing Assessment

General home inspectors check that faucets turn on. A dedicated plumbing inspection checks pipe materials, drain condition, water heater age, pressure, and hidden infrastructure that determines true repair costs.

Insurance Companies Are Requiring Inspections

Some insurance carriers now require plumbing inspections for homes over 30 years old before issuing or renewing policies. Failed inspections can result in coverage exclusions for water damage.

San Diego's Hard Water Creates Hidden Damage

At 16-22 grains per gallon, San Diego's hard water silently degrades plumbing from the inside. An inspection reveals scale buildup, corroded valves, and water heater sediment before they cause visible problems.

Our Process

01

Supply System Evaluation

We test water pressure and flow rate, inspect visible supply lines for material type and condition, check all shutoff valves for operation, and note any signs of leaks or corrosion.

02

Drain System Assessment

Camera inspection of main sewer lateral and accessible drain lines. We document pipe material, joint condition, root intrusion, bellies, and any blockages or restrictions.

03

Water Heater Inspection

We check water heater age, anode rod condition, T&P valve operation, flue or venting, sediment level, and overall remaining useful life. We note whether repair or replacement is approaching.

04

Fixture Evaluation

Every fixture is tested for proper operation — flow rate, drainage speed, valve operation, and visual condition. We note fixtures approaching end-of-life or showing signs of failure.

05

Pressure & Flow Testing

Static pressure measurement at the main and at fixtures reveals whether your pressure regulator is functioning properly and whether supply line restrictions are reducing flow.

06

Written Report & Recommendations

You receive a detailed written report with findings, photographs, severity ratings, and prioritized recommendations — from immediate safety issues to future maintenance planning.
