Plumbing Inspection in Mount Prospect

Know What Is Really Going On In Your Plumbing

In Mount Prospect, a plumbing inspection is more than just a routine check; it is a critical step in maintaining community safety and following strict Village ordinances. Whether you are participating in the Lead Service Inspection Program, preparing for a Clear Water Elimination check, or buying a home in an established neighborhood, you need an expert who understands the local infrastructure. Failing to identify a hidden sewer collapse or an illegal sump connection can lead to heavy fines and property damage.

At Intelligent Service, we have spent over 40 years helping our neighbors navigate these requirements, operating with technical excellence and integrity since 1979. Our certified, EPA-licensed technicians apply our "Think Twice, Act Once" philosophy to every inspection, providing the honest, thorough assessments you need to keep your home safe and compliant.

Our Comprehensive Plumbing Inspection Solutions

A professional inspection from Intelligent Service covers every critical point of your home’s water and waste systems. Given the specific requirements of the Village of Mount Prospect and the age of local homes, we provide specialized diagnostic services that go far beyond a surface-level visual check.

• Sewer Lateral Video Inspections: We use high-definition cameras to travel deep into your sewer line, identifying tree root intrusions, bellies, or cracks in older clay pipes that often lead to basement backups.
• Clear Water Compliance Prep: We inspect your sump pump and downspout discharge points to ensure they are not illegally connected to the sanitary sewer, helping you pass Village "Clear Water" mandates.
• Lead Service Line Identification: Our pros can identify the material of your incoming water service and inspect interior plumbing for lead solder or brass fixtures, following current EPA and Village safety guidelines.
• CCCDI Backflow Testing: We are licensed to test and recertify backflow prevention devices for irrigation and fire systems, as mandated annually by Illinois law and the Village Public Works.
• Flood Control System Audits: We inspect backwater valves and overhead sewer pumps to ensure they are clean, powered, and ready to protect your basement from the combined sewer surges common in the area.
• Pre-Purchase Plumbing Surveys: For homebuyers, we provide a complete audit of the water heater, shut-off valves, and visible piping to ensure you aren't inheriting expensive hidden plumbing problems.

By conducting these targeted inspections, we provide you with a clear roadmap of your system’s health and help you avoid the stress of unexpected code violations.

We write in the first person because we believe in transparency. Our non-commissioned technicians focus purely on finding the truth about your plumbing, never on creating unnecessary repairs.

1. Initial Visual and Manual Check: We begin with a systematic walkthrough of your home, checking every fixture, valve, and visible pipe for signs of corrosion, slow leaks, or "sweating."
2. Advanced Diagnostic Tools: We use the industry’s best tools—including thermal imaging for hidden leaks and fiber-optic cameras for sewer lines—to see exactly what is happening inside your walls and underground.
3. Code and Compliance Review: Our "Think Twice, Act Once" approach ensures we check your system against current Illinois Plumbing Code and Mount Prospect Village ordinances, identifying any safety risks.
4. Comprehensive Digital Report: After our inspection, we provide a clear, honest summary of our findings. We use photos and video footage to show you the condition of your pipes, ensuring you have the evidence you need for insurance or real estate purposes.
5. Expert Consultation: We finish by walking you through our report, explaining the priority of any suggested maintenance. All our skilled diagnostic work is backed by the Intelligent Service forever guarantee.
