F E Johanssen & Sons Inc - Pittsburgh's Reliable Plumbing Service

Our Pittsburgh plumbing inspections meticulously check all pipe joints, especially in older homes common in our area, for early signs of corrosion, mineral buildup, or hairline cracks. By identifying these weak points during a routine inspection, we can recommend targeted repairs or replacements before a small drip turns into a major leak, preventing costly water damage to your walls and floors.

Pittsburgh's hard water contributes to soap scum and mineral accumulation in drains. Our inspections use specialized cameras to assess the extent of buildup inside your pipes. This allows us to recommend the most effective solution—whether a professional hydro-jetting to clear it completely or guidance on preventive maintenance—stopping slow drains from becoming full blockages.

Tailored for local homes, our inspection goes beyond basics. We focus on problem areas like basement pipe joints prone to shifting, check for proper drainage slope to prevent backups, and evaluate fixtures for wear that leads to leaks. We provide a clear, prioritized report so you know exactly what needs attention to avoid common local plumbing emergencies.
