About Michelson Plumbing in Ofallon, MO

A comprehensive plumbing inspection by our O Fallon team proactively checks the key systems that cause local basement floods. We examine your main sewer line for blockages or breaks, test your sump pump's operation, and inspect foundation drains and exterior drainage. Catching issues like a failing sump pump or a slow sewer line leak early can prevent a major, costly flood, especially during our area's heavy rains.

In many of O Fallon's established homes, we focus on pipe material, condition, and signs of failure. We check for corrosion in galvanized steel pipes, mineral buildup that restricts flow, and small leaks at joints or fittings that are common as pipes age. Identifying these issues allows us to recommend targeted repairs or strategic replacements before a small leak turns into a major pipe burst or causes hidden water damage.

Absolutely. After addressing the immediate water removal, a professional inspection is crucial. We'll determine the flood's source—whether it's a burst pipe, sewer backup, or sump pump failure—and assess any damage to your plumbing system. This ensures all contributing factors are repaired correctly to prevent a recurrence. It's a vital step in safeguarding your O Fallon home's foundation and plumbing integrity for the future.
