When you're buying or selling a home in Peoria, Glendale, Surprise, or the North Phoenix area, a home inspection can uncover small issues that turn into big delays. At Hand Heroes is your trusted, first responder-owned handyman service, and we’re here to help knock out those punch list items fast.

Why Home Inspection Repairs Matter in Arizona Real Estate

Whether you're under contract or about to close, home inspections can flag issues that lenders want resolved before funding can go through. Even small plumbing or water heater concerns can hold up the process.

At Hand Heroes recently responded to a home in Glendale, AZ, where the inspector flagged three plumbing items — all common in Arizona homes.

Real Example: Water Heater, Plumbing Repairs in Glendale, AZ

Here’s what the inspector wanted fixed before closing:

1. Missing Gas Drip Leg

A gas drip leg helps trap debris and moisture in gas lines. Missing one can raise safety concerns during inspections — but it’s a fast install for our team.

2. PEX Pressure Relief Valve Line

PEX lines aren’t always up to code for pressure relief valve discharge. We swapped it with a safer, approved copper material to ensure compliance and peace of mind.

3. Water Heater Pan Without Downspout

A water heater pan should have a proper drain line leading to the floor or exterior. We added one quickly to keep things moving forward.
