About R Burns Plumbing in New Lenox, IL

During a plumbing inspection, we specifically check your outdoor faucets and supply lines for proper insulation and any signs of vulnerability to our Illinois winters. We ensure the shut-off valves are working correctly and show you how to properly drain and winterize them. This proactive step can prevent frozen pipes, which are a common cause of burst lines and costly water damage in New Lenox homes.

Absolutely. A key part of our inspection is examining all appliance connections, including your dishwasher. We check the supply line, drain hose, and the seal around the unit for wear, cracks, or loose fittings that are common culprits for leaks. Identifying and fixing these issues early can prevent water damage to your kitchen floors and cabinets, saving you from a major repair headache.

Our thorough inspection is tailored to local needs. We assess your entire system: checking water pressure, looking for leaks under sinks and around toilets, inspecting water heater condition, testing drains, and examining vulnerable areas like outdoor faucets and appliance hookups (dishwashers, washing machines). The goal is to give you a complete picture of your plumbing's health and catch small problems before they become New Lenox-sized emergencies.
