Willmar Plumbing Inspection Experts | Empire Plumbing & Heating

Our standard inspection covers the key areas where local issues like broken shutoff valves and slow drains often start. We'll check all fixture shutoff valves for corrosion and proper operation, inspect main water supply lines, assess drain flow and potential clogs, and examine your water heater and exposed pipes for leaks or wear. This proactive check helps us catch small problems before they cause big headaches.

A plumbing inspection is an excellent first step. While we can certainly clear the immediate clog, our inspection looks for the root cause—like buildup in pipes, improper slopes, or issues with your home's main sewer line—to prevent the clog from quickly returning. For Willmar homes, this is especially helpful for recurring slow drains, as we can provide a long-term solution.

Absolutely. Broken or seized shutoff valves are very common in older Willmar homes. During a plumbing inspection, we specifically test these valves. If one is faulty, we can replace it on the spot, restoring your ability to quickly shut off water during a leak. This simple repair is a crucial part of home maintenance and can prevent significant water damage.
