About Palmer Plumbing in Des Moines, IA

A professional plumbing inspection allows us to assess your drains for early signs of buildup—like slow drainage or minor clogs—before they become major blockages. In Des Moines, factors like hard water and frequent use can accelerate buildup. We use camera inspections to identify problem areas and recommend targeted cleaning or preventive measures, saving you from unexpected backups and water damage.

Before winter hits, schedule a plumbing inspection to have your outdoor faucets winterized. We'll drain any residual water, install frost-proof faucets if needed, and check for leaks that could lead to freezing. This simple preventive step helps avoid burst pipes and costly repairs, which are common in Iowa's cold snaps. We also advise disconnecting hoses and insulating exposed pipes.

Regular inspections catch small issues—like minor leaks or early drain buildup—before they escalate into emergencies. Given Des Moines' climate extremes and aging plumbing in some homes, proactive checks help prevent problems like frozen pipes in winter or drain backups during heavy use. Our inspections provide peace of mind and can extend the life of your plumbing system.
