J K Plumbing | Qualified Plumbing Service in Des Moines, IA

Our thorough plumbing inspection identifies pipes in uninsulated areas like crawl spaces, attics, and exterior walls that are vulnerable to freezing during our cold Iowa winters. We check for proper insulation, locate your main water shut-off valve for emergencies, and recommend specific actions like pipe wrapping or heat tape to prevent costly bursts and water damage before the deep freeze sets in.

Absolutely. During a plumbing inspection, we use specialized cameras to scope your kitchen drain lines, looking for the sticky buildup of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) that are a common culprit for slow drains and complete blockages in Des Moines homes. Catching this early allows us to perform a professional hydro-jetting or mechanical cleaning to restore full flow and prevent a messy backup.

For Des Moines residents, our inspection focuses on area-specific risks. We check water heater function and pressure relief valves, test water pressure, inspect for pipe corrosion, examine sump pumps, and critically, assess all pipes for freezing risks and drains for grease accumulation. We provide a detailed report with prioritized recommendations to address any issues we find, giving you peace of mind.
