Hartz Ed & Sons - Deposit's Emergency Plumber

During our inspection, we specifically check your outdoor faucets (hose bibbs) to ensure they are properly winterized. We look for proper shut-off valves, assess insulation, and test for drips that could lead to ice buildup inside the wall. We'll provide recommendations, such as installing frost-free hose bibs or ensuring proper drainage, to prevent freezing and costly pipe bursts common in our local climate.

Yes, it's a wise preventative step. The mineral content in our local water supply can lead to significant scale buildup inside pipes and on fixtures over time. Our plumbing inspection includes checking water pressure and flow rates, which can indicate restricted pipes, and examining fixtures like showerheads and faucet aerators for scale. We can then advise on solutions, such as water softeners or specific descaling treatments, to protect your plumbing system's efficiency and lifespan.

Our thorough inspection is like a health check-up for your entire plumbing system. We examine visible pipes for leaks or corrosion, test all faucets and drains, check the water heater for safety and efficiency, inspect toilets for proper operation and leaks, and assess your home's main water shut-off valve. We pay special attention to local concerns, ensuring outdoor lines are prepared for winter and identifying early signs of hard water damage, giving you peace of mind and a plan for maintenance.
