About Purple Home Improvements in Athens, MI

Yes, absolutely. A professional plumbing inspection from our Athens team includes checking your outdoor faucets (hose bibbs) for proper winterization. We can identify if they are frost-free models, test for leaks that might lead to ice buildup, and advise on or install insulation covers. This preventative service is key to avoiding burst pipes and costly water damage common in our local climate.

If your disposal is old, has a history of jams, or shows signs of motor failure, a replacement is often more cost-effective than repeated repairs. For Athens homes, we recommend installing a new, more powerful unit with a longer warranty. Our plumbing installation service includes proper electrical hookup, leak checks, and advice on what can safely go down the disposal to prevent future issues common in our area.

Drafty windows and poorly insulated siding can create cold spots inside your walls where plumbing pipes are located. As your local installer in Athens, we ensure new windows and siding are sealed and insulated properly. This helps maintain a consistent, warmer temperature within your home's structure, reducing the risk of pipes freezing during our harsh Michigan winters—a common root cause of plumbing emergencies here.
