City Plumbing Co | Plumbing Services in Florence, SC 29501

Our local plumbing inspection includes a detailed check of your sump pump system, which is vital for Florence homes prone to heavy rainfall. We test the pump's operation, check the discharge line for clogs, and ensure the backup battery is functional. This proactive service can identify wear, improper installation, or capacity issues before a storm hits, preventing basement flooding and extensive water damage common in our area.

Given our local water and soil conditions, signs include discolored water (often brown or yellow), a persistent metallic taste, reduced water pressure, and visible greenish-blue stains on copper pipes or rust on galvanized steel. During our inspection, we use specialized tools to assess pipe wall thickness and integrity, identifying corrosion early to prevent leaks, bursts, and contamination, which are frequent concerns for older homes in Florence.

A pre-purchase plumbing inspection from a local expert like us is crucial. We specifically look for issues common to Florence properties, such as outdated or corroded pipes, inadequate sump pump systems for our climate, and improper drainage that can lead to foundation problems. This inspection provides peace of mind, can be used in negotiations, and helps you avoid unexpected, costly repairs related to our region's specific plumbing challenges after you move in.
