About Action Plumbing in Lexington, MI

Our Lexington plumbing inspection involves a thorough check of your home's vulnerable areas, like crawl spaces, attics, and exterior walls. We identify pipes with inadequate insulation, assess your outdoor faucet's frost-proof capability, and recommend targeted fixes. This proactive step is crucial for local homes to prevent the freezing and potential bursting that our Michigan winters can cause.

First, shut off the water supply to that faucet from inside your home if possible. Gently apply warm air (like from a hairdryer) to the exterior portion, starting closest to the house. Never use an open flame. If the faucet is cracked or you can't thaw it, call Action Plumbing immediately. We can repair or replace it with a proper frost-proof model to prevent future issues.

Lexington's freeze-thaw cycles put unique stress on plumbing. An inspection before winter allows us to spot small issues—like a slow drip at an outdoor spigot or a crack in a pipe insulation sleeve—that can lead to major ice blockages or bursts. Addressing these in the fall is a neighborly, cost-effective way to avoid emergency repairs during a deep freeze.
