Filbrandt Jerome Plumbing & Heating - Antigo's Best Plumbing Contractor

Our Antigo plumbing inspection includes checking your outdoor faucets (hose bibbs) for proper insulation and drainage. We ensure the interior shut-off valve is working and that the faucet is properly winterized to drain all residual water, which is the main cause of freezing and burst pipes in our Wisconsin climate. This proactive step is crucial for fall maintenance.

During an inspection, we assess your roof vent pipes for proper placement and clear any potential blockages from debris. In Antigo, snow and ice can seal over these vents, preventing proper drainage and causing gurgling drains or sewer gas odors inside. We identify vulnerable vents and can recommend solutions like adding insulation or vent guards to prevent ice dams from forming.

The ideal time is in the late fall, before temperatures consistently drop below freezing. This gives us time to identify and fix any issues with outdoor faucets, exposed pipes, and drain vents. Scheduling early ensures your system is fortified against our harsh Wisconsin winter, preventing emergencies and giving you peace of mind all season long.
