About Reid Rutherford Plumbing & Heating in Montrose, CO

Our comprehensive plumbing inspection specifically checks for weaknesses that high-altitude pressure fluctuations can exploit, such as loose pipe fittings, stressed seals, and early signs of corrosion. By identifying these vulnerabilities early, we can recommend repairs or adjustments to reinforce your system, preventing leaks, bursts, and water damage that are more common in our area's unique climate.

In Montrose, sudden snowmelt or heavy rains can quickly overwhelm drainage. A faulty sump pump can lead to serious basement flooding. Our inspection tests the pump's operation, checks the discharge line for clogs or freezing risks, verifies the float switch, and ensures the pit is clear. We make sure it's ready to handle our local weather patterns, protecting your home's foundation and interior from water damage.

Between our expert inspections, keep an eye out for signs of pressure-related stress: listen for unusual banging or whistling in your pipes, check for minor leaks around fittings, and monitor your water pressure for inconsistency. For your sump pump, test it periodically by pouring water into the pit to ensure it activates and drains properly. If you notice any of these issues, give us a call—we're here to help before a small problem becomes a big one.
