About Marsh Mechanical Company in Lexington, KY

Our plumbing inspections specifically check for limestone scale buildup in pipes, water heaters, and fixtures—a common problem in Lexington due to our hard water. We identify early signs of scaling that can reduce water pressure, damage appliances, and increase energy costs. Catching it early allows us to recommend solutions like water softeners or descaling treatments to protect your plumbing system.

Many Lexington homes have older shutoff valves that can corrode or fail over time, especially with our mineral-rich water. During a plumbing inspection, we test all shutoff valves to ensure they work properly. If we find a broken valve, we replace it with a durable, corrosion-resistant model to prevent leaks and give you reliable control over your water supply in emergencies.

During an inspection, our technicians focus on key areas affected by Lexington's hard water: checking for white scale deposits on faucets and showerheads, assessing water heater efficiency (which scaling can reduce), and inspecting pipes for reduced flow. We also examine shutoff valves for corrosion—a common issue here. This proactive approach helps prevent major repairs down the line.
