Absolutely. Our plumbing inspection specifically checks for common Franklin-area flooding risks, like your sump pump's condition, basement floor drain functionality, and the integrity of foundation seals. Identifying and fixing these issues proactively is the best defense against the costly water damage that can come from our heavy spring rains and rapid snowmelt.

The key is to winterize them before the first hard freeze. We recommend shutting off the interior water supply valve to each outdoor faucet, then draining the remaining water from the spigot. During a plumbing inspection, we can identify any faucets that lack a proper shut-off valve or show signs of wear, ensuring they are repaired or upgraded to prevent freezing and bursting.

Our inspection goes beyond visible pipes. We check insulation in vulnerable areas like crawl spaces, garages, and along exterior walls—common spots for freezing in our climate. We also assess the overall water pressure and look for minor leaks that can increase freeze risk. Catching these issues early allows for simple fixes, like adding insulation or replacing a worn valve, to prevent a major pipe burst.
