Plumbing Inspection Experts in Miamisburg, OH 

Our technicians inspect all drain lines and sewer lines from the inside all the way out to the curb. We also inspect all the connections. We check septic tanks, drainage systems and elsewhere to see if there’s any pipe damage, clogs or pipe corrosion. 

We fill the your drainage system with water all the way up to the middle of the trip waste overflow line in the bathtub to ensure your plumbing system is sealed air tight. If it’s not, we’ll find it by filling it during our inspection to expose any leaks. 

We inspect all your plumbing fixtures to ensure they all have separate valves controlling the water supply. We inspect for signs of water damage on the internal and external parts of the property. We inspect your downspout drainage, flex hoses, and drains to find blockages or locate anything else that could impact the plumbing systems. 

If pipes are exposed pipes to freezing temperatures, they can get damaged. During the winter months when it’s really cold, our pipes are far more prone to freezing, which causes damage, when they aren’t properly protected, heated or insulated. Because of this, we check for pipes that might be exposed. 

Our plumbing inspection expert turns on your water main and adjusts the pressure from 75 psi all the way up to 100 psi to find out if the working pressure is able to pass through the water pipelines. Checking the water supply also helps you figure out if it’s running smoothly while there’s minimum water pressure required. 

Our plumbing experts inspect your water supply’s main shut-off valve and we inspect for any sort of damage or defect. We also try to see if the water meter is reading continuously, even if the valve is shut off. This will help you determine if water is leaking or if there are issues developing. 

Because it will save you time and money. Experts say plumbing inspections should be performed once a year to find minor issues and prevent them from becoming expensive problems. Plumbing inspections and plumbing maintenance shouldn’t be skipping out on in an attempt to save money. You won’t save money. The types of plumbing problems we prevent can cause water damage and other issues. We also prevent things that can cause your water bill and water heating bill to go up. Because of this and other inefficiencies and headaches, we say the service pays for itself. It especially pays for itself if you’re looking to buy a new home. 

Because sewer line leaks don’t affect monthly water usage, which increases you water bill, sewer leaks are harder to detect. However, they can cause bad odors, and even attract rodents and pests to your home. Sewer leaks eventually cause issues with your yard and landscaping. Intact main sewer lines should always be airtight. This means there shouldn’t be any odors escaping the pipes. If you start to smell something foul in your yard, it could indicate there’s a leak in the sewer line.

Our experts find water leaks by first checking your water meter and looking at the leak indicator. If the leak indicator is moving, we know there’s a leak. Depending on the type and brand of your water meter you have, your leak indicator should be small and triangular shaped, like a dial. Otherwise, it could be a small silver wheel rotating when the water is flowing through the meter. If this dial is moving, chances are good that you have a water leak. Otherwise, for the most accurate leak detection services, our plumbers use a miniaturized camera that gets mounted on long fiber optic cables. This camera relays images back to a monitor where we can take a closer look at the condition of the insides of the pipes.
