Mankoff Industries | Plumbing Services in Lake Zurich, IL 60047

During a comprehensive plumbing inspection, our technicians meticulously check all shutoff valves for signs of corrosion, mineral buildup, and proper operation. A valve that's stiff or hasn't been used in years is a common failure point. By identifying a problematic valve early, we can recommend repair or replacement before it seizes or breaks when you need it most, preventing a potential flood and giving you peace of mind.

Absolutely. Our inspections include assessing the condition and flow of your main sewer line. We look for early warning signs like slow drains throughout the house, which can indicate a developing blockage or root intrusion—common causes of backups in our area. Identifying these issues proactively allows us to recommend cleaning or repair solutions to prevent a full-scale, messy, and unsanitary sewer backup in your home.

We tailor our inspections to local concerns. Beyond general checks, we pay special attention to shutoff valves (especially in basements and near water heaters), test sump pump systems that tie into sewer lines, and evaluate the grade and condition of exterior cleanouts. We also assess the age and material of your main sewer line, as older pipes in the area are more susceptible to root damage and collapse, which are primary culprits for backups.
