A routine plumbing inspection in Blumenort turned into a longer list than the homeowners expected. Working through the house, our technician found the sump pump had never been properly connected to its check valve, letting water spray back instead of draining the way it should — an easy fix, done the same visit.
The laundry hookup was next: the old washer box parts were no longer available, so we replaced the connection with two new 1/4-turn hose bibs, giving the homeowners a cleaner, more reliable shutoff for hot and cold. We also flagged an in-line water filter that’s overdue for a change, and a 47-year-old hot water tank showing corrosion near the base — still running, but worth planning a replacement for before it fails on its own schedule.
None of these were emergencies on their own, but together they’re exactly the kind of thing a full inspection is meant to catch. Homeowners in Blumenort due for a similar check, or dealing with an aging water heater, can learn more about our plumbing repair services.
