About Patton Plumbing Company in Chattanooga, TN

Absolutely. Our plumbing inspection includes a detailed check of all outdoor spigots, looking for cracks, worn washers, and internal valve issues that are common here, especially after our freeze-thaw cycles. Catching these small problems during an inspection can prevent a major leak that soaks your foundation or drives up your water bill.

We specifically examine your washing machine supply hoses for bulges, cracks, and corrosion at the connections—common failure points. We also check water pressure, as high pressure can stress these hoses. Replacing a worn, rubber hose with a recommended braided stainless steel one during an inspection is a simple, proactive step that can prevent a devastating flood in your Chattanooga home.

We recommend a professional plumbing inspection annually. Given our local issues like hard water that accelerates wear and seasonal temperature swings that stress pipes, an annual check-up helps us spot minor wear on faucets, hoses, and connections before they turn into urgent repairs. It's a small investment for significant long-term savings and hassle prevention.
