Plumbing Company Menominee MI | Call Long Heating & Cooling

Absolutely. Our detailed plumbing inspections are tailored to local risks, with a special focus on your sump pump and drainage systems. We check for proper operation, signs of wear, and potential failure points that are common causes of basement flooding in our area. Identifying these issues early allows us to make repairs or recommendations before the next heavy rain or snowmelt, helping to keep your basement dry.

When inspecting your sump pump, our Menominee technicians perform a comprehensive check. We test the pump's operation by pouring water into the pit, inspect the float switch for proper movement, check the discharge line for clogs or freezing risks, verify the check valve is functioning, and ensure the pit is clear of debris. We also assess the power source and recommend a battery backup system, which is crucial for our local power outages during storms.

We recommend an annual plumbing inspection, ideally in the early spring before the heavy rain season or in the fall before freezing temperatures set in. This schedule helps ensure your sump pump and drainage are ready for seasonal challenges. If your home has a history of water issues or an older plumbing system, more frequent checks may be advisable. Our team can provide a personalized schedule based on your home's specific needs.
