Plumbing Inspections for Charlotte Homes
Charlotte is about 45 minutes south of Landis. In older neighborhoods, inspections focus on galvanized water lines, cast iron drains and clay sewer pipe, often with a camera run through the sewer line. In homes from the late 1970s to mid 1990s, we check for polybutylene. Business owners use inspections to plan repairs before they become closures.
