Plumbing Inspection in Chicago, IL | Marcos Plumbing | Water Damage Prevention

Signs include water stains on ceilings or walls near the roofline, peeling paint, dripping water from attic vents, and icicles forming along the eaves. These indicate that melting snow is backing up under shingles, which can lead to water seeping into your home. A plumbing inspection by Marcos Plumbing can identify related pipe issues from freeze-thaw cycles.

A plumbing inspection checks for slow leaks, condensation from pipes, and improper drainage that can raise humidity in your crawl space. This moisture can lead to mold, wood rot, and structural damage. We assess your pipe insulation and sump pump function to keep your crawl space dry, especially after heavy rains common in Chicago.

Hardwood floor water damage often results from flooding due to overwhelmed sewers or foundation cracks, allowing water to seep under floors. Our plumbing inspection includes checking your main water line, outdoor spigots, and basement drains for leaks or blockages. We then recommend repairs to stop the water source and help you restore the floor.
