Kardell Plumbing | Trusted Plumbing Contractor in Saint Louis, MO

A comprehensive plumbing inspection allows our technicians to assess key risk factors for basement flooding, which is common in our area. We check your main sewer line for blockages or cracks, evaluate your sump pump's condition and operation, and inspect foundation drains. Identifying issues like slow drains or minor leaks early can prevent a major backup or failure during a heavy rainstorm, safeguarding your basement from water damage.

Given our local water conditions, pipe corrosion is a frequent concern. During an inspection, we look for telltale signs like discolored water (brown or yellow tint), reduced water pressure, frequent leaks, and visible green or white crusting on copper pipes (verdigris) or rust on iron pipes. Early detection through our inspection allows us to recommend solutions like pipe lining or replacement before a catastrophic failure occurs.

We recommend a full plumbing inspection every 1-2 years for preventative maintenance, especially for older homes in Saint Louis. This frequency helps catch corrosion and wear before they become emergencies. It's also wise to schedule an inspection before buying a home or if you notice any changes in your water pressure, water quality, or drainage speed. Regular check-ups are the best defense against the costly repairs associated with our area's common plumbing problems.
