Del Mar plumbing — catch it before it floods.
Catman's pre-problem plumbing for Del Mar: the scheduled look that finds the slab leak, the corroding pipe, the pressure creep before it becomes a flooded floor. Del Mar's high-value, often older estates are exactly the homes where a plumbing failure is most expensive — a slab leak in a finished home is a five-figure cleanup.

What Catman checks in Del Mar
- Slab-leak signs — warm floor spots, meter creep with everything off, water running in the slab. The #1 silent flood-maker in coastal slab homes.
- Pipe & fitting corrosion — pinhole risk in old copper, galvanized rot, salt-air-accelerated fittings.
- Water pressure & regulator — creeping pressure bursts lines; a $200 regulator beats a $20k flood.
- Water heater age & anode — caught early it's a swap, not a cleanup.
- Shutoffs & quiet leaks — every angle stop, the main, and the fixtures dripping where you can't see.
