Mike Bell Plumbing & Construction - East Grand Forks's Reliable Plumbing Company

Our plumbing inspection includes checking your outdoor faucets for proper shut-off valves and insulation. In East Grand Forks' cold winters, a small leak or poor insulation can lead to frozen pipes and costly water damage inside your walls. We identify these risks and recommend solutions like installing frost-proof faucets or ensuring proper drainage to prevent freezing and protect your home.

During an inspection, we focus on key areas that cause basement flooding in our area: checking your sump pump's operation, inspecting the main sewer line for cracks or blockages, and evaluating your foundation's drainage. We look for signs of past water intrusion and test your system's capacity to handle heavy rain or rapid snowmelt, common in East Grand Forks, to recommend proactive safeguards.

Older homes in our community often have original plumbing materials like galvanized steel or clay pipes, which are more prone to corrosion, leaks, and root intrusion. A professional inspection assesses the condition of these aging systems, identifies hidden issues behind walls or under slabs, and provides a clear plan to modernize your plumbing, preventing unexpected failures and water damage.
