About V & R Kings of Remodeling in Madison, WI

During a plumbing inspection, our Madison technicians specifically check your outdoor faucets (hose bibbs) for proper drainage and insulation. We identify any that are not frost-free or are improperly installed, which are major freeze risks in our Wisconsin winters. We'll recommend and can install frost-proof faucets or show you how to properly winterize existing ones, preventing costly bursts and water damage.

In many of Madison's older homes, galvanized or copper pipe joints can corrode or loosen over time. Signs include damp spots on walls or ceilings, a musty smell, unexplained increases in your water bill, or the sound of dripping behind walls. Don't ignore these signs. Our plumbing inspection uses tools like moisture meters and cameras to precisely locate hidden joint leaks before they cause significant structural damage.

A pre-winter plumbing inspection from a local expert like V & R Kings is crucial. We assess your entire system's cold-weather readiness, focusing on pipes in vulnerable areas like unheated crawlspaces, garages, and near exterior walls—common in Madison homes. We check for insulation gaps, identify pipe joints under stress, and ensure outdoor faucets are prepared. This proactive step can save you from emergency repairs and extensive water damage during a freeze.
