McDonald Plumbing | Experienced Plumbing Service in Portsmouth, VA

A professional plumbing inspection allows us to thoroughly assess the condition of your pipes, joints, and fixtures. For older Portsmouth homes, we specifically look for corrosion, minor leaks, and weak spots that are common with aging systems. Catching these issues early during an inspection can prevent a small drip from turning into a major leak that causes water damage, saving you significant repair costs and hassle.

For homes with sump pumps, our inspection goes beyond just the pipes. We test the pump's operation, check the discharge line for clogs or freezing risks common in our climate, inspect the pit for debris, and verify the backup power system if you have one. This comprehensive check ensures your primary defense against basement flooding is ready, especially before heavy rains, giving you crucial peace of mind.

Absolutely. We use non-invasive technology, like electronic leak detection and video pipe inspection cameras, to locate hidden leaks behind walls or under slabs without unnecessary damage. This is especially valuable for diagnosing the source of mysterious moisture or high water bills in older Portsmouth homes, allowing us to target repairs precisely and minimize disruption to your home.
