Local Plumbing Company in Southfield, MI 48034 - Michigan Mechanical Contracting

During a plumbing inspection, our technicians specifically check your outdoor faucets (hose bibbs) for proper shut-off valves and insulation. In Southfield's climate, a small leak or faulty valve inside your wall can allow water to sit in the pipe, leading to freezing and bursts. We identify these risks, recommend repairs like installing frost-free faucets, and show you how to properly winterize them, preventing costly water damage to your home's exterior and foundation.

Our sewer line inspection uses camera technology to visually inspect the pipe running from your home to the city main. We look for common local issues like tree root intrusion, scale buildup, cracks, or sagging sections (bellies) that can trap waste and cause slow drains or sudden backups. Identifying these problems early allows us to recommend targeted solutions, such as hydro-jetting or spot repairs, before you experience the mess and health hazards of a full sewer backup in your basement or yard.

We recommend a comprehensive plumbing inspection every 1-2 years for preventative maintenance. For older homes in Southfield (those over 20 years), or if you've recently purchased a property, an inspection is highly advisable to establish a baseline. This routine check is the best way to catch minor issues with pipes, water pressure, valves, and drainage before they escalate into emergencies like frozen pipe bursts or sewer overflows, saving you significant stress and expense.
