Lindsey Mcfarlane - Chicago's Trusted Plumbing Repair

A professional plumbing inspection identifies vulnerable pipes in unheated areas like basements, attics, and along exterior walls. We check insulation, assess water pressure, and locate shut-off valves. For Chicago winters, this proactive step is crucial to spot risks before a deep freeze, potentially saving you from costly bursts and water damage.

Our inspection tests your sump pump's operation, checks the float switch, cleans the pit, and verifies the discharge line is clear and directed away from your foundation. With Chicago's heavy rain and snowmelt, a working sump pump is vital to prevent basement flooding. Regular inspections ensure it's ready when you need it most.

Absolutely. An inspection for an older home is highly recommended. We thoroughly examine the condition of pipes, water heaters, fixtures, and drainage systems. This reveals issues like galvanized pipe corrosion or outdated sump pumps common in Chicago's historic housing stock, giving you a clear picture of needed repairs or maintenance before problems arise.
