Q&A
How can a plumbing inspection from Burkholder help prevent sump pump failure in my Ephrata home?
Our plumbing inspection includes a thorough check of your sump pump system. We test the pump, inspect the discharge line for clogs or freezing risks common in our area, and ensure the pit is clear of debris. This proactive service can identify wear or potential failures before a heavy rain, helping to prevent basement flooding.
What's included in your water heater inspection to address sediment buildup?
Our inspection involves checking the temperature and pressure relief valve, examining for leaks or corrosion, and assessing the anode rod. Crucially, we evaluate for sediment by checking water flow and temperature consistency. If significant sediment is found, we can perform a professional flush to restore efficiency and extend the life of your heater, saving you money on energy bills.
Why should I get an electrical inspection along with plumbing work on my older Ephrata home?
Many plumbing updates, like installing a new water heater or sump pump, require proper electrical connections. Our combined expertise ensures the new appliance is wired safely to code, preventing overloads or hazards. An electrical inspection also checks nearby outlets and circuits, like those in damp basements, for GFCIs to protect your family from shock.
