Ted's Plumbing: Qualified Plumbing Contractor Serving Pendleton, IN 46064

Our plumbing inspections include a detailed check of your main drain line and the pipes leading to your septic system. We look for early warning signs like slow drainage, minor backups, or changes in your yard that could indicate a full or failing septic tank. Catching these issues early allows us to recommend maintenance, like pumping or minor repairs, to prevent a major overflow that could damage your property and lawn.

During an inspection, we test your sump pump's operation by pouring water into the pit to ensure it activates and pumps properly. We check the float switch for free movement, inspect the discharge line for clogs or freezing points (common in Indiana winters), and verify the check valve is working to prevent backflow. This proactive check helps ensure your pump is ready to protect your Pendleton basement from flooding when you need it most.

We recommend an annual plumbing inspection, especially before the wet spring season or winter freeze. For homes with septic systems or basements prone to moisture, this yearly check is crucial. It helps us monitor the health of your septic system and sump pump, which are vital for preventing the water damage common in our area. Think of it as routine maintenance to avoid unexpected and costly emergencies.
