Utter Company - Richmond's Local Plumbing Contractor

Our inspections are tailored to spot the early signs of pipe corrosion, which is a frequent concern with Kentucky's water chemistry. We check for telltale signs like discolored water, mineral buildup, and weakened pipe walls. Catching corrosion early allows us to recommend targeted solutions, such as pipe lining or selective replacement, to prevent leaks and extend the life of your plumbing system before major damage occurs.

We pay close attention to pipe joints, a common failure point. Our technicians check for moisture, mineral deposits, and subtle pressure drops at connections throughout your system, especially in older Richmond homes. Identifying a failing joint early means a simple, affordable repair, preventing the water damage, mold growth, and higher water bills that result from an undetected leak.

We recommend an annual inspection for most homes. Given our local issues with corrosion and joint leaks, yearly check-ups are a smart, preventative measure. It's especially important if your home is over 20 years old or if you've noticed any changes in water pressure or quality. Regular inspections help us create a maintenance history for your home, allowing us to catch and fix small problems before they become expensive emergencies.
