What a Comprehensive Inspection Covers

A detailed check of your home’s water and waste lines is about more than just looking at the faucets. We examine the entire network to ensure every component is functioning efficiently and safely, following all local Wisconsin plumbing codes to protect your investment.

• Visual checks of all exposed pipes in basements and crawlspaces for signs of corrosion.
• Testing water pressure levels to prevent strain on your appliances and fixtures.
• Inspecting the water heater for sediment buildup, leaks, and proper venting.
• Checking toilets, sinks, and tubs for slow drainage or hidden seal failures.
• Evaluating the condition of main sewer lines using advanced camera tools.

Catching these issues early is the best way to avoid the frustration of a sudden pipe burst or a backed-up sewer line. In many older homes, we also look for outdated materials like galvanized steel or lead that may need to be addressed for better water quality. A professional assessment provides a clear picture of your system's health and helps you plan for future upgrades.
