About PTI Plumbing in Columbus, OH

A professional plumbing inspection by PTI Plumbing includes a thorough check of all appliance connections, including your washing machine's hoses. We look for signs of wear, bulging, brittleness, or loose fittings that are common causes of sudden bursts. By identifying and recommending replacement of old rubber hoses with more durable stainless steel braided hoses, we help Columbus homeowners proactively prevent messy and damaging floods.

Yes, broken or seized shutoff valves are very common in Columbus due to mineral buildup from our water and age. A faulty valve means you can't stop the water during a leak or when making repairs. During a PTI Plumbing inspection, we test every shutoff valve in your home. If we find one that's failing, we can replace it with a reliable quarter-turn valve, ensuring you have control in an emergency and making future plumbing work much simpler.

First, stay calm and locate the shutoff valve for your washing machine—it's usually on the wall behind it. Turn it clockwise to stop the water flow. If that valve is broken (a common issue we fix), you may need to turn off the main water supply to your house. Then, call PTI Plumbing immediately. Our Columbus-based emergency team will respond quickly to make the permanent repair, assess for water damage, and ensure your shutoff valves are functioning properly to prevent a repeat incident.
