Plumbing Service Cambridge MA | Call William J Malcolm & Son

A professional plumbing inspection from our team involves a thorough assessment of your pipes for early signs of corrosion, which is common in our area due to water chemistry and aging infrastructure. We use specialized tools to check pipe thickness and integrity, identify vulnerable areas, and recommend solutions like protective coatings or strategic replacements. This proactive approach can prevent leaks, water damage, and more extensive, costly repairs down the line.

Common signs of pipe joint leaks include unexplained damp spots on walls or ceilings, a musty odor, reduced water pressure, or the sound of running water when all fixtures are off. In older Cambridge homes, these joints are particularly susceptible to wear. During our detailed plumbing inspection, we meticulously check all joints and connections with pressure tests and visual examinations to find even small leaks you might miss, ensuring they're repaired before causing structural damage.
