Plumbing Repair Charleston SC | Call Jenkins Kinsey Plumbing and Heating Company

A comprehensive plumbing inspection from Jenkins Kinsey includes a thorough evaluation of your sump pump system. We check for proper installation, test the pump's operation, and inspect the discharge line for clogs or freezing points—common issues that lead to failure during our heavy Lowcountry rains. This proactive check can prevent basement flooding and extensive water damage to your home.

We recommend checking your washing machine hoses for signs of wear like bulges, cracks, or brittleness at least once a year. During our plumbing inspections, we specifically examine these hoses, which are a frequent source of major leaks. For Charleston homeowners, we often suggest upgrading to braided stainless steel hoses, which are more durable and better withstand the pressure fluctuations common in our area.

Charleston's historic and older homes often have aging plumbing systems that are more susceptible to the issues you mentioned, like sump pump wear and hose degradation. Our inspection goes beyond surface-level checks to assess pipe condition, water pressure, and the integrity of key fixtures. This helps us catch small problems before they turn into emergencies, preserving the character and structure of your cherished home.
