Our plumbing inspections include checking outdoor faucets for proper insulation, identifying potential leaks, and ensuring they are winterized correctly. We'll recommend specific measures like installing frost-free hose bibs or adding insulation sleeves, which are crucial in Mankato's cold climate to prevent freezing and pipe bursts.

During an inspection, we test the pump's operation, check the discharge line for blockages, inspect the pit for debris, and verify the backup system is functional. Given Mankato's seasonal groundwater issues, we also assess the pump's capacity and recommend upgrades if needed to handle heavy rainfall or snowmelt, preventing basement flooding.
