Mike's Plumbing - Glen Rose's Local Plumber

Our thorough inspection checks for exposed pipes, inadequate insulation, and pre-existing weaknesses that are vulnerable during sudden temperature drops. We identify these risks and recommend specific, cost-effective solutions—like pipe insulation or strategic repairs—to help prevent a freeze-related burst and the major water damage that follows.

Yes, laundry hose failures are very common as rubber hoses degrade over time. During a Mike's Plumbing inspection, we examine these hoses for bulges, cracks, or brittleness. We often recommend replacing standard rubber hoses with braided stainless steel lines, which are far more durable and a simple upgrade that can prevent a major laundry room flood.

Our inspection is a complete health check for your home's plumbing. We assess water pressure, check for leaks at fixtures and supply lines, inspect pipe conditions and insulation, test drains, and examine appliances like water heaters and washing machines. The goal is to give you a clear picture of your system's condition and a prioritized plan to address any local risk factors.
