Expert Plumber in Woodbury, CT 06798 - Highlander Services

Our thorough plumbing inspection includes checking for pipes in vulnerable, uninsulated areas like basements, crawl spaces, and exterior walls—common spots for freezing in our Connecticut winters. We identify these risks and recommend specific solutions, such as adding insulation or heat tape, to proactively protect your home from the costly damage and inconvenience of a burst pipe.

We test every main and fixture shutoff valve in your home to ensure they turn on and off completely and without leaking. A stuck or leaking valve is a common issue we find in older homes. Catching this early is crucial; a failed shutoff valve can prevent you from stopping the water during a plumbing emergency, leading to significant water damage before help arrives.

We recommend a professional inspection annually, ideally in the fall before freezing temperatures set in. This timing allows us to winterize your system and address any vulnerabilities. You should also schedule an inspection before buying an older home, after a major storm, or if you notice signs like reduced water pressure or minor leaks, which can indicate larger issues common in our area.
