HVAC Services Des Moines IA | Call Excel Mechanical

Our comprehensive plumbing inspection specifically checks for vulnerable pipes in unheated areas like crawl spaces, attics, and exterior walls—common spots for freezing in our Iowa winters. We identify insufficient insulation, drafty areas, and recommend preventive measures like pipe insulation or heat tape to protect your system before the deep freeze sets in.

Absolutely. While a plumbing inspection focuses on pipes and water systems, our technicians are fully trained in whole-home safety. We assess the area around your water heater and furnace for proper venting, signs of corrosion, or blockages that could lead to dangerous carbon monoxide buildup, offering peace of mind for your Des Moines home.

We examine the condensate drain line from your high-efficiency furnace, which can clog and cause shutdowns or water damage. We also check for proper drainage around your water heater's pressure relief valve and inspect the overall system for leaks or corrosion that could impact efficiency and lead to issues like frozen pipes in vulnerable areas.
