Bauer & Tettis Plumbing & Heating - Saint Marys's Expert Plumbing Service

Our thorough plumbing inspection specifically checks for pipes in unheated areas like crawl spaces, basements, and exterior walls that are vulnerable to freezing. We identify these at-risk spots before winter hits and can recommend solutions like pipe insulation or heat tape. Catching this early is the best way to prevent the burst pipes and water damage that are common in our Pennsylvania winters.

Our water heater inspection includes checking the anode rod, testing the pressure relief valve, and, crucially, checking for sediment buildup. Sediment from our local water supply reduces efficiency, causes strange noises, and can lead to premature failure. During the inspection, we can perform a professional flush to remove this sediment, restoring efficiency and extending the life of your unit, saving you money on energy and replacement costs.

We recommend an annual plumbing inspection, ideally in the fall. This timing allows us to prepare your system for winter by addressing frozen pipe risks and ensuring your water heater is efficient for the increased demand. It also gives us a chance to catch small leaks, worn parts, or early signs of corrosion before they turn into major problems, providing peace of mind and protecting your home investment.
