Handy Blake - New Brighton's Reliable Plumbing Contractor

Our plumbing inspection includes a comprehensive check of your sump pump system. We assess the pump's operation, power source, discharge line, and the pit itself for debris or blockages common in our local soil conditions. Identifying wear, improper installation, or potential clogs early allows us to recommend maintenance or repairs before a failure occurs, helping to prevent basement flooding during heavy rains common in the Twin Cities area.

Our electrical inspection is a detailed safety review. We check your main service panel for outdated or overloaded circuits, test GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms (crucial for moisture-prone areas), inspect wiring for wear, and verify proper grounding. For older homes, this is vital to identify hazards like aluminum wiring or insufficient capacity for modern appliances, significantly reducing the risk of electrical fires.

Absolutely. During a plumbing inspection, we use specialized cameras to scope drain lines, identifying the root cause of slow drainage—often hair, soap scum, or mineral buildup from our local water. We can pinpoint the exact location and severity of a clog or spot early signs of pipe corrosion or bellies (sags) that trap debris. This allows for targeted cleaning or repair, restoring proper flow and preventing complete blockages or sewage backups.
