Lorentz Plumbing | Expert Plumbing Contractor in Arnold, MO

Our thorough plumbing inspection focuses on identifying the root causes of potential flooding, such as hidden leaks, compromised pipe joints, or improper drainage around your foundation. For Arnold homes, we pay special attention to the sump pump system, discharge lines, and basement plumbing integrity. Catching these issues early allows us to make repairs before a heavy rain leads to costly water damage, giving you peace of mind.

During a sump pump inspection, we test the pump's operation by pouring water into the pit, check the float switch for proper movement, inspect the discharge line for clogs or freezing points (common in Missouri winters), and verify the check valve is functioning. We also assess the power source and recommend a battery backup system—a crucial safeguard for Arnold homes during power outages in storms when sump pumps are needed most.

Absolutely. Persistent dampness, musty odors, or minor seepage are often early warning signs of bigger problems, like a crack in the foundation drain tile or a sump pump nearing failure. A proactive inspection from Lorentz Plumbing can pinpoint the source of the moisture—whether it's from internal plumbing, external groundwater, or a failing component—allowing us to fix it before it escalates into a full basement flood, saving you time, stress, and significant repair costs.
