Frequently Asked Questions
How can a plumbing inspection from Rway help prevent a sewer backup in my Philadelphia home?
Our plumbing inspection includes a thorough check of your main sewer line and drainage system. We use specialized techniques to look for early signs of blockages, tree root intrusion, or pipe deterioration—common causes of backups in Philly's older infrastructure. Identifying these issues early allows for proactive repair, preventing a messy and disruptive sewer backup.
What does Rway check during an electric inspection that's important for Philadelphia homeowners?
We focus on safety and code compliance, which is crucial in Philadelphia's historic and renovated homes. Our inspection covers your electrical panel for overloaded circuits, checks for outdated wiring like knob-and-tube, and ensures GFCI protection in wet areas (kitchens, bathrooms, basements). This helps prevent electrical fires and ensures your system can safely handle modern appliances.
Can your inspection help me avoid frozen outdoor faucets this winter?
Absolutely. A key part of our plumbing inspection is checking your exterior hose bibs (outdoor faucets) and their supply lines. We verify they are properly winterized or have a frost-free design. If we find vulnerabilities, we'll provide specific recommendations—like installing a frost-free faucet or ensuring proper interior shut-off—to prevent freezing and costly burst pipes when temperatures drop in Philly.
