About Pollock Dave Plumbing in Merrimack, NH

A professional plumbing inspection focuses on your home's drainage infrastructure, which is critical during spring snowmelt. We check your sump pump's operation, inspect basement floor drains for blockages, and evaluate the grading around your foundation. Identifying a failing sump pump or a clogged drain before the heavy melt begins allows us to make repairs proactively, significantly reducing your risk of basement flooding and water damage.

Our inspection includes a thorough check of all your outdoor faucets (hose bibbs) and their internal shut-off valves. We look for existing damage, proper insulation, and confirm that the shut-off valves are functioning correctly so you can properly winterize them each fall. This simple, preventive step is key in Merrimack's cold winters to avoid burst pipes and costly water damage inside your home's walls.

A pre-winter plumbing inspection is a smart, preventative measure. We assess all the components vulnerable to freezing, including pipes in unheated spaces, outdoor faucets, and irrigation systems. By identifying insufficient insulation or potential weak points now, we can recommend and perform necessary fixes before the deep freeze sets in. This neighborly approach helps you avoid the emergency and expense of a burst pipe during a cold snap.
