About Brunton & Hicks Inc. in Charlottesville, VA

A professional inspection assesses your sump pump's condition, operation, and discharge line. We check for clogs, proper power supply, and signs of wear. In Charlottesville's climate, where heavy rain can overwhelm old systems, this proactive check ensures your pump is ready to protect your basement from water damage.

During an inspection, we look for subtle signs like water around the toilet base, unexplained floor softness, or a persistent musty odor. We'll also check for a wobbly toilet and test the wax ring seal. Catching a leaking seal early prevents damage to your Charlottesville home's subfloor and avoids higher water bills.

Older homes in Charlottesville often have original plumbing components that can deteriorate over time. An inspection allows us to evaluate pipes, fixtures, and drainage systems for corrosion, slow leaks, or outdated materials. This helps prevent emergencies like burst pipes or sewage backups, saving homeowners from disruptive and expensive repairs.
