Kemtune | Experienced Plumbing Service in Fort Wayne, IN

Our plumbing inspections specifically check your outdoor faucets (hose bibbs) for proper shut-off valves and insulation. We identify if you have frost-free faucets installed correctly and test for leaks or vulnerabilities. For Fort Wayne winters, we often recommend installing frost-proof hose bibbs or winterizing standard faucets to prevent freezing, which can lead to burst pipes and water damage inside your walls.

During an inspection, we test your sump pump's operation by pouring water into the pit to ensure it activates and pumps water out effectively. We check the power source, the discharge line for clogs or freezing points (a common issue here), the integrity of the check valve, and the condition of the pit itself. This helps catch problems before the next heavy rain or spring thaw, which are critical times for sump pump failure in our area.

In Fort Wayne, many plumbing problems, like frozen pipes or sump pump failure, cause significant damage before you even know there's an issue. A preventative inspection from Kemtune is like a check-up for your home's plumbing health. It allows us to spot small problems—like a sump pump switch starting to stick or an outdoor faucet without a proper shut-off—and fix them affordably. This proactive approach is the best defense against emergency calls and costly water damage repairs, especially given our local weather challenges.
