Barrco Plumbing Supply | Plumbing Services in Philadelphia, PA 19151

Our thorough plumbing inspection includes checking your outdoor faucets for proper insulation and assessing the condition of interior shut-off valves. We identify if your faucet is a frost-free model installed correctly and ensure there are no hidden leaks that could lead to ice buildup. By catching these issues before the deep freeze, we can recommend simple fixes or upgrades to prevent burst pipes and costly water damage, a common problem for Philadelphia homes.

During an inspection for a leaky pipe joint, our experts examine the joint for corrosion, improper seating, or failed sealant—common issues in Philadelphia's older homes. We assess the water pressure, as high pressure can stress joints, and check for movement in the pipes due to settling foundations. Our inspection aims to find the root cause, not just the symptom, so we can supply the right fitting or recommend a lasting repair strategy to stop the leak for good.

The ideal times are early fall, before freezing temperatures hit, and late spring. A fall inspection lets us winterize your system, focusing on outdoor faucets and exposed pipes. A spring check-up can assess any damage from the winter thaw and identify joint leaks that may have worsened. Scheduling these seasonal inspections with Barrco helps you stay ahead of the weather patterns specific to our area, saving you from emergency repairs.
