Ellison & Lukich Plumbing: Expert Plumbing Company Serving Sheboygan 53081

Our comprehensive plumbing inspection includes checking your main drain lines, sump pump (if present), and floor drains for blockages or slow drainage—common contributors to basement flooding in our area. We also inspect supply lines for small leaks that can lead to moisture buildup and mold. By identifying these risks early, we can recommend repairs or maintenance to keep your basement dry and protected.

We specifically test the operation of your main water shutoff valve and key fixture valves (like those under sinks and behind toilets). In Sheboygan, we often find older valves that have seized or corroded, making them useless in an emergency. Our inspection verifies they turn freely and seal completely. If a valve is broken or failing, we can replace it on the spot, ensuring you can quickly stop the water flow to prevent extensive damage from a burst pipe or leak.

We recommend a full plumbing inspection every 1-2 years for preventative maintenance. Given our local climate and aging plumbing in many area homes, this schedule helps catch issues like valve corrosion or pipe fatigue before they fail. It's also wise to schedule an inspection before the winter freeze sets in to ensure pipes are insulated and vulnerable outdoor valves are protected, and after any major storm that could stress your drainage system.
