About S & D Plumbing & Heatin in Auburn, ME

Our thorough plumbing inspection specifically checks for the early warning signs of pipe joint failure, which is a frequent issue in the area due to temperature fluctuations and aging pipes. We examine joints for corrosion, mineral buildup, and minor moisture, allowing us to recommend repairs or replacements before a small leak becomes a major problem, saving you from potential water damage.

A proper inspection for freeze protection goes beyond just the tank. Our experts at S & D examine the entire septic system, including the inlet and outlet pipes, the tank's insulation level, and the drainage field. We look for vulnerable, shallowly buried lines and assess the system's overall health to recommend preventative measures like adding insulation or adjusting usage before the deep Maine freeze sets in.

Absolutely. In fact, a post-thaw inspection is highly recommended. After safely thawing your pipes, our technicians will conduct a detailed inspection to check for damage caused by the expansion of freezing water, such as cracks or weakened joints at elbows and connections. This helps us identify and repair any new vulnerabilities to prevent recurring leaks or bursts.
