Thoroughbred Plumbing - Lexington's Reliable Plumbing Contractor

Yes, a failing sump pump is a common cause of damp basements in our area, especially during Kentucky's heavy rains. We can perform a thorough plumbing inspection to diagnose the issue, which often involves checking the pump's operation, the discharge line, and the pit itself. We'll repair your existing unit if possible or recommend a reliable replacement to keep your basement dry and prevent foundation water damage.

The main sign is waiting a long time for hot water to reach your faucet or shower, which wastes both water and energy. This is especially noticeable in larger or multi-story homes. Installing a recirculation pump provides instant hot water, increasing convenience and efficiency. Our team at Thoroughbred Plumbing can assess your plumbing layout and recommend the right system for your home, from traditional pumps to newer, on-demand models.

Water at the toilet's base in Lexington homes is often due to a worn wax ring seal, which is a very common and typically straightforward repair for our plumbers. However, it's important to address it quickly to prevent floor damage and mold. We'll remove the toilet, replace the seal with a durable, high-quality alternative, and ensure it's properly reset. If we discover any subfloor damage during the repair, we'll discuss your options transparently.
