Evans Plumbing | Top-Rated Plumber in Englewood, OH

Our plumbing inspection includes a specific check of all your home's outdoor faucets (hose bibs). We assess their condition, ensure they have a proper shut-off valve inside your home, and verify they are draining correctly to prevent water from being trapped inside. We'll also recommend and can install frost-proof faucets or insulating covers, which are crucial for protecting against Englewood's freezing winter temperatures and preventing costly bursts.

During our thorough inspection, we examine all exposed plumbing in unheated areas like basements, crawl spaces, attics, and garages—common trouble spots in Englewood homes. We check for insufficient insulation, drafts near pipes, and identify any sections that run along exterior walls. Based on what we find, we provide expert recommendations, such as adding pipe insulation, applying heat tape, or sealing air leaks, to proactively safeguard your plumbing before the deep freeze sets in.

Absolutely. In fact, a post-thaw inspection is highly recommended. After we safely thaw your frozen pipes, a follow-up inspection allows us to check for any damage or weaknesses the freezing event may have caused, such as small cracks or compromised seals. This helps ensure there are no hidden leaks that could lead to water damage later. It's also the perfect time to implement the preventative measures we recommend to protect your Englewood home from future freezing issues.
