Plumbing Service Wolcott CT | Call Deschenes R E Plumbing & Heating

We focus on the common issues we see locally. This includes a thorough check of any remaining cast iron pipes for signs of rust, corrosion, or weakness that could lead to a leak. We also test all shutoff valves to ensure they operate correctly, as these often fail in older systems. Our inspection gives you a clear picture of your plumbing's health and prioritizes any repairs needed to prevent emergencies.

Absolutely. A key part of our inspection is testing every shutoff valve—under sinks, at toilets, and at the main water line. If a valve is stiff, leaking, or non-functional, we identify it immediately. Replacing a faulty valve during a scheduled inspection is a simple, affordable fix compared to the water damage and emergency repair costs if that valve fails when you urgently need to stop the water flow.

We'll provide a straightforward assessment. Not all old pipes need immediate replacement, but we'll show you any active leaks, significant corrosion, or areas of concern. We then discuss repair or replacement options, such as spot-repairing a section or re-piping with modern, durable materials like copper or PEX. Our goal is to give you a long-term solution that fits your budget and protects your Wolcott home.
