Expert Plumbing Inspection in San Jose And Surrounding Areas, CA

A plumbing inspection from Gomez Sewer and Drain gives you a clear picture of what is happening inside your home's pipes, drains, and sewer lines. We check supply lines, drain lines, water pressure, fixture connections, and visible pipe conditions throughout the home. Many homes across San Jose, Campbell, and Sunnyvale were built during the postwar housing boom and still carry original galvanized steel or cast iron pipes. Those materials are now well past their expected service life. Santa Clara Valley's hard water adds mineral scale inside pipes over time, and the area's expansive clay soil shifts seasonally, putting stress on underground sewer laterals. We use camera inspection tools to see inside drain and sewer lines without digging. You get a written summary of what we found, what needs attention now, and what can be monitored. Whether you own a mid-century home in Campbell or a newer build in Sunnyvale, a plumbing inspection helps you avoid surprise repairs and protects your property's value. Call Gomez Sewer and Drain to schedule your inspection.

Plumbing Inspection FAQ

Common questions about plumbing inspection in San Jose and Surrounding Areas, CA.

Yes, a dedicated plumbing inspection checks supply lines, drain lines, and sewer laterals in detail. Many San Jose homes were built before 1980 and may have aging galvanized or cast iron pipes a general home inspector will not fully evaluate.

We check water pressure, visible supply and drain pipes, fixture connections, water heater condition, and run a camera through the sewer line when needed. Campbell's older housing stock from the 1950s often has galvanized supply lines and aging cast iron drains that benefit from a close look.

An inspection every few years is a practical baseline for most Sunnyvale homes. If your home was built before 1985 or you have noticed slow drains, low pressure, or discolored water, schedule one sooner.

Yes, we look for signs of slab leaks including pressure drops, warm spots on floors, and unexplained water bill increases. Santa Clara Valley's expansive clay soil shifts seasonally, which puts stress on pipes running under concrete slabs.

No, most of our inspection work is non-invasive and uses camera tools to view inside drain and sewer lines. We only recommend further access if the camera reveals a condition that requires a closer look.

Slow drains, rust-colored water, low water pressure, sewer odors, or recurring clogs are all signs worth investigating. Los Gatos properties with mature landscaping are also at higher risk for tree root intrusion into older sewer laterals.

Santa Silva Google review · February 2026

5/5 stars – I was very impressed with Gomez Sewer and Drain. Ivan & his entire crew are wonderful! They showed up on time as promised, squeezed me in next day on the schedule, handled the problem quickly & efficiently, cleaned up beautifully, and sent me the emailed invoice, all within 24 hours! I'm a realtor of 23 years and had a back up in a condo I'm selling. I had no time to waste and they came to my rescue quickly! They made me look good to my clients. I have them on speed dial and part of my trusted team. I highly recommend you put them on yours.

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to Fidel Gomez for his quick response and help! My daughter had a bit of a mishap by putting a toy down the toilet, and we were without a working toilet for nearly three months. A plumber came to fix it, but they initially suggested replacing the entire toilet. However, something just didn’t feel right, and I suspected the toy was still inside. To my surprise, when I called Fidel, there was a bubble bee inside! So, we owe him a huge thank you for his prompt assistance and for saving the day. He’s definitely my go-to plumber from now on.
