What we do for Star homeowners
- Walk every accessible supply line, drain line, and shutoff valve
- Check newer builder-grade plumbing before the warranty period runs out
- Test water pressure and look for signs of leaks or past water damage
- Inspect fixtures, faucets, and toilets for wear or failing seals
- Check exterior spigots, hose bibs, and any visible cleanouts
- Provide a plain-language written report ranked by urgency
If nothing's wrong, that's the whole report — no invented urgency. If something does need attention, you'll get photos and a straightforward explanation before we suggest any next step.
What to expect during your Star inspection
A typical Star visit runs about an hour for an average home, longer for a larger or older property. We begin outside at the hose bibs and visible cleanouts, move indoors through supply lines and drains, and wrap up with a full water heater check. New subdivisions filling in along Highway 44 mean a lot of what we inspect is builder-grade plumbing that's never had an independent look; older homes near Star's original town center usually need a slower pass through plumbing that predates the recent growth.
At the end, you get a plain-spoken summary of the whole system, prioritized by urgency rather than buried in jargon. Any recommended repair comes with a separate written quote before it happens.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a plumbing inspection cost in Star?
Every Star inspection starts with a flat-rate quote in writing before we touch anything, based on the home's size and scope. No surprise number at the end.
Our home is newer and off Highway 44 — is builder-grade plumbing worth checking?
Yes, especially before a builder warranty expires. We regularly find builder-grade plumbing that's never had an independent look, and catching an issue while it's still covered saves an out-of-pocket repair later.
Our house is near the original town center — is it much older than the new subdivisions?
Often, yes. Homes near Star's original center predate the recent growth and typically need a slower, more thorough pass through the plumbing than a five-year-old build.
How fast can you get out to Star?
We offer same-day scheduling when possible. Call (208) 366-5771 and we'll tell you what's realistic for your day.
Will I get a price before any repairs happen?
Yes, always. The inspection is quoted flat-rate up front, and anything we recommend afterward comes with its own separate written quote.
