Dennis the Plumber - Franklin's Qualified Plumbing Contractor

Our Franklin-specific plumbing inspection focuses on your home's vulnerability to heavy rain and runoff. We thoroughly check your main drainage lines, basement plumbing, and, most importantly, your sump pump system to ensure it's correctly installed and in perfect working order. This proactive check can reveal blockages or weaknesses before a storm hits, helping to prevent catastrophic basement flooding common in our area.

When we inspect your sump pump in Franklin, we don't just see if it turns on. We test the pump's full cycle, check the discharge line for proper drainage away from your foundation, inspect the pit for debris, and verify the backup power source (if you have one). Given how crucial a working sump pump is here, we ensure every component is ready to handle the sudden water influx from our heavy seasonal rains.

Congratulations on your new home! In our mountainous region, older homes may have outdated plumbing, settled foundations affecting pipes, or inadequate drainage solutions for our heavy rains. Our inspection will uncover hidden issues like slow drains, past water damage signs, or a sump pump that's undersized or failing. This knowledge protects your investment and helps you plan for any necessary upgrades to keep your basement dry and your plumbing reliable.
