Hansen Robert | Qualified Plumbing Service in Salt Lake City, UT

Absolutely. A key part of our inspection is checking your outdoor faucets (hose bibs) for proper insulation and shut-off valves. We identify any that are at risk and can recommend or install frost-proof models or insulating covers, a common and necessary upgrade for our climate to prevent burst pipes and water damage.

During an inspection, we closely examine the condition and connections of your washing machine supply hoses. We look for signs of wear, bulging, corrosion, or loose fittings that are common precursors to a failure. Replacing old rubber hoses with braided stainless steel ones is a simple, proactive fix we often recommend to Salt Lake City homeowners.

Our thorough inspection covers all visible plumbing, including checking for leaks at fixtures, testing water pressure, inspecting water heater connections and safety, assessing pipe condition, and examining critical areas like under sinks and behind appliances. We pay special attention to local concerns, ensuring outdoor lines are prepared for winter and identifying any aging components that could lead to issues like hose failures.
