About Schriefer Fred A & Son in Erie, PA

A professional plumbing inspection allows our Erie technicians to assess the condition of your drain lines, looking for early signs of grease buildup and restricted flow. We can identify problem areas before a full clog occurs and recommend preventative measures, like proper grease disposal habits or the potential installation of a grease trap, specifically tailored to our local water and piping systems.

Absolutely. During a Schriefer's plumbing inspection, we meticulously check all supply hoses, including those for your washing machine, for signs of wear, bulging, or weak connections that often lead to bursts. We'll advise if it's time for a preemptive replacement with high-quality, braided stainless steel hoses—a simple, affordable fix that prevents the water damage common in many Erie basements and laundry rooms.

For Erie's older homes, our inspection is comprehensive. We check for corroded or outdated galvanized pipes prone to blockages, inspect drain venting for proper airflow to prevent slow drains, test water pressure, examine shut-off valves, and assess the water heater. The goal is to create a complete picture of your system's health, focusing on the local issues like grease accumulation and aging hose connections that could lead to emergencies.
