Mike Glaser Plumbing - Shelton's Emergency Plumbing Repair

Our plumbing inspections include a thorough assessment of your main sewer line and drainage system. We check for blockages, bellies (sags), and assess the overall flow capacity. By identifying potential bottlenecks or vulnerabilities before the rainy season, we can recommend solutions like cleaning, repairs, or installing a backwater valve. This proactive approach is the best way to prevent messy and damaging sewer backups in your Shelton home.

During an inspection, we carefully examine exposed pipes for discoloration, flaking, pinhole leaks, and mineral deposits—common signs of corrosion, especially in galvanized steel pipes found in many older Shelton properties. We also check water pressure and may perform a camera inspection of hidden lines. Catching corrosion early allows us to recommend targeted repairs or re-piping, preventing major water damage and preserving your home's plumbing integrity.

We recommend an annual plumbing inspection for most homes. For older homes (30+ years) in Shelton, or if you've experienced issues like slow drains or minor leaks, a yearly check is crucial to manage corrosion risks. It's also wise to schedule an inspection before the heavy fall and winter rains to ensure your drainage system is clear and functioning properly. Think of it as preventative maintenance that saves money and stress in the long run.
