Adler Plumbing & Heating | Plumbing Services in Wheaton, IL 60187

A professional plumbing inspection includes checking your outdoor faucets (hose bibbs) for proper drainage and insulation. We identify faucets that are not frost-free or have worn washers, which are common culprits for freezing and bursting in our cold Wheaton winters. By catching these issues early, we can recommend repairs or upgrades to frost-free models, preventing costly water damage to your home's exterior and foundation when temperatures drop.

Shutoff valves, especially older gate valves commonly found in Wheaton homes, can corrode and seize over time. A broken valve fails when you need it most—during a leak. Our inspection tests the operation of key shutoff valves under sinks, behind toilets, and at the main water line. If we find a valve that's stuck or leaking, we can replace it with a reliable ball valve, ensuring you can quickly stop the water flow in an emergency to minimize damage.

Our local-focused inspection is a thorough health check for your plumbing. Beyond the standard checks for leaks and drainage, we pay special attention to areas prone to problems in our climate. This includes inspecting outdoor faucet installations, testing all shutoff valves for easy operation, examining pipes in unheated areas for freeze risk, and checking water pressure to prevent strain on older valves. The goal is to give you a complete picture of your system's condition and prioritize fixes that matter most for Wheaton homes.
