Northern Plumbing Systems: Reliable Plumbing Contractor Serving Goshen, OH 45122

Our comprehensive plumbing inspection includes checking all outdoor faucets (hose bibbs) for proper insulation and assessing if they are the frost-free type correctly installed. We identify vulnerabilities specific to Goshen's winter temperatures and recommend solutions like installing insulated covers or, if needed, replacing the fixture to prevent freezing and costly pipe bursts inside your walls.

During an inspection, our technicians will examine your washing machine's supply hoses for signs of wear, bulging, or brittleness—common causes of bursts. We strongly recommend and can install braided stainless steel hoses, which are far more durable against pressure fluctuations and the cold. We'll also check the water shut-off valves to ensure you can quickly stop the flow in an emergency.

The ideal time is in the early fall, before freezing temperatures set in. This gives us time to address any issues with outdoor faucets, exposed pipes, or appliance hoses. However, a thorough inspection is valuable any time of year to catch small problems before they become major repairs. We can tailor the inspection to seasonal needs, focusing on winterization in the fall and interior system checks in the spring.
