Sears Plumbing | Trusted Plumbing Service in Richmond, VA

Our comprehensive plumbing inspection proactively checks your home's critical flood defenses. We test sump pump operation, inspect backflow prevention devices, and ensure all drainage lines from the basement and foundation are clear. This helps identify weaknesses before a storm hits, allowing us to make necessary repairs to help prevent costly water damage common in our area after heavy rains.

Richmond's variable water conditions and the age of many homes can cause valves to corrode or seize from lack of use. During our inspection, we manually test every main and fixture shutoff valve for smooth operation. If a valve is stuck or leaking, we can often repair it on the spot or recommend a replacement, ensuring you can quickly isolate water in an emergency to prevent major damage.

We focus on the systems most vulnerable to our local weather. This includes a full assessment of exterior drainage, gutter downspout extensions, the basement sump pump and pit, the main water shutoff valve, and all interior supply lines for signs of weakness. Our goal is to give you a clear report on your plumbing's readiness, so you can address any issues before the next big storm arrives.
