About O'connell Michael Plumbing & Heating in Washington Island, WI

Our plumbing inspections include a detailed assessment of your pipes' material, age, and condition. On the island, where water chemistry and soil can accelerate corrosion, we look for telltale signs like discoloration, leaks, or reduced water pressure. Identifying weak spots early allows us to recommend targeted repairs or replacements, preventing major failures and protecting your home from water damage before it starts.

Before winter hits, schedule a sewer line inspection with us. We use specialized cameras to check for dips, cracks, or root intrusions where water can pool and freeze. We'll also assess your line's depth and insulation. Based on what we find, we can recommend preventive measures like insulating exposed pipes or clearing minor blockages to ensure proper drainage all season, preventing disruptive and messy ice clogs.

Older island homes often have original plumbing that may not withstand modern demands or prolonged exposure to corrosive elements. A professional inspection gives you a complete picture of your system's health. We check for widespread corrosion, inadequate venting, and outdated materials that are prone to freezing. This knowledge helps you prioritize repairs, improve efficiency, and avoid the high cost and inconvenience of emergency breakdowns during our harsh winters.
