Tappan Plumbing & Woodworks - Jim Thorpe's Local Plumber

In our historic area, many homes have aging pipes that can develop slow leaks behind walls or under floors. Our comprehensive plumbing inspection uses specialized tools like moisture meters and video pipe inspection cameras to pinpoint the exact source and extent of the leak, whether it's from an old pipe or a failing toilet seal. This allows us to provide a targeted, efficient repair, preventing costly water damage and preserving your home's structure.

For Jim Thorpe homes, our inspection focuses on the most frequent problems we encounter. We meticulously check all toilet seals and wax rings for leaks, examine visible and accessible pipes for corrosion or mineral buildup, test water pressure, inspect fixtures for drips, and assess the condition of supply lines and drains. Our goal is to give you a complete picture of your system's health and catch small issues before they become major emergencies.

Absolutely. A leaking toilet seal (wax ring) is a very common issue in older homes and often causes water around the base, foul odors, or even damage to subfloors. During our inspection, we will check for proper sealing and signs of failure. We can definitively diagnose this and recommend the correct repair, which typically involves replacing the wax ring and ensuring a proper, watertight seal to protect your bathroom floor.
