Plumbing Service Kokomo IN | Call Duncan Service Company

Our plumbing inspection focuses on identifying pipes in unheated or exterior walls—common trouble spots in our Kokomo winters. We check insulation levels, assess the condition of pipe joints for weaknesses, and recommend specific preventative measures like pipe wrapping or sealing drafts. Catching these vulnerabilities early is the best way to avoid the burst pipes and water damage that are all too common in our area each winter.

We ensure all electrical components near water sources—like outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements—are properly grounded and protected by GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) devices. This is crucial for safety, especially if a pipe leak occurs. We also check that your water heater is correctly wired and that sump pumps, which handle water from thawing or leaks, have a dedicated, reliable circuit to prevent failure during a critical moment.

Kokomo's soil conditions and seasonal temperature swings can cause subtle foundation shifts, putting stress on pipe joints over time. Our inspection meticulously examines visible joints for signs of corrosion, minor weeping, or loose fittings. We use specialized tools, like moisture meters, to detect hidden dampness that indicates a slow leak. Identifying and repairing these joints early prevents minor issues from escalating into major water damage, saving you from extensive repairs.
