A comprehensive plumbing inspection checks for issues that often accompany roof damage. After a storm or ice dam event, water can seep into walls and ceilings, affecting plumbing lines and causing hidden mold or corrosion. We inspect exposed pipes in attics and crawlspaces for signs of moisture intrusion, check water pressure for inconsistencies that might indicate a leak, and ensure drainage systems are clear. This proactive approach helps us catch secondary damage early, saving you from more extensive and costly repairs down the line.

Absolutely. In Orfordville, strong winds can compromise roof vents, flashings, and even plumbing stacks (the pipes that vent sewer gases through your roof). If these are damaged, it can lead to drainage problems, sewer gas leaks into your home, or even allow rainwater into your plumbing system. After addressing the immediate roof repair, we recommend a follow-up plumbing inspection to ensure all vent stacks are properly sealed and re-secured, and to check for any water that may have entered and affected pipes in the attic or walls.

Yes, addressing ice dams is crucial for protecting your entire home, including the plumbing. Ice dams cause water to back up under shingles and into the structure. This water often runs down inside walls where plumbing lines are located, leading to frozen or burst pipes—a common Wisconsin winter problem. Our process involves safely removing the ice dam, assessing the roof for damage, and then conducting a targeted plumbing inspection. We check pipes in vulnerable exterior walls and the attic for signs of moisture or freezing, helping to prevent a major plumbing failure caused by the initial roof issue.
