Boisvert Plumbing | Plumbing Services in Enfield, CT 06082

Our plumbing inspection includes a detailed check of all your outdoor faucets (also called hose bibbs). We look for proper shut-off valves inside your home, assess the faucet's insulation and condition, and ensure it's properly graded to drain water completely. For Enfield homes, we often recommend installing frost-free hose bibbs or adding insulating covers as part of our inspection report, which are key steps to prevent freezing and potential bursts.

We focus on the areas most susceptible to freezing in our Connecticut climate. This includes inspecting pipes in unheated spaces like your basement, crawl space, attic, and garage. We check for adequate insulation, identify any drafts near plumbing, and examine the routing of pipes along exterior walls. Our goal is to map out your home's specific risk points so we can recommend targeted solutions like pipe insulation or heat tape before winter arrives.

In this case, our inspection becomes even more crucial. We will thoroughly investigate the previous freeze location to determine the root cause—whether it's inadequate insulation, a draft, or a problem with the pipe material or placement. We then expand the inspection to the entire system to see if other areas share the same vulnerability. Our report will provide a prioritized plan to rectify the known issue and fortify other at-risk pipes, giving you peace of mind for future winters in Enfield.
