Nick
March 2026
A Hillsborough homeowner wanted a whole home plumbing inspection and quotes on items from an inspection report, including a potential leak under a sink, the bathtub diverter, the main water shut off valve, and possibly changing the flexible piping under the sinks to PVC.
Nick found that the upstairs hall bath tub spout diverter was not diverting 100% and the trip lever assembly in the upstairs hall bath was not effectively draining, and he noted flexible drain pieces underneath the sinks in the upstairs bathrooms. The potential leak under the sink could not be re-created during the visit. Nick completed a thorough plumbing inspection of the home and provided multiple estimates and upfront pricing on these issues so the homeowners could choose the option that suits them best.
