Michael's Plumbing and Heating | Plumbing Services in West Orange, NJ 07052

Our detailed inspection specifically checks for the early signs of corrosion caused by our local climate's humidity and salt air. We examine exposed pipes, water heaters, and fixtures for pitting, discoloration, and weakening. Catching this early allows us to recommend protective measures or targeted replacements, preventing sudden leaks and water damage that are common in our area.

We use specialized camera equipment to visually inspect your home's main sewer line from the interior clean-out to the municipal connection. This allows us to identify issues like root intrusion, cracks, bellies, or collapses that are prevalent with older pipes in our community. Early detection through an inspection can save you from the severe inconvenience and expense of a full sewer line backup.

For homes in our area, we recommend a professional plumbing inspection every 1-2 years. Given the factors of older housing stock and environmental conditions, this regular check-up is a smart, preventative measure. It's especially advised if you notice slow drains, gurgling sounds, or have never had your sewer line scoped, as it provides peace of mind and helps avoid emergency calls.
