About Absolute Plumbing in Chattanooga, TN

Our specialized inspections are crucial here. We use sewer camera scopes to visually check for cracks or separations in pipes caused by soil movement and perform pressure tests to find hidden leaks in old plumbing. This proactive approach lets us spot issues from clay soil shift or pipe corrosion early, saving you from emergency repairs and foundation water damage common in our area.

Common local warning signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, the sound of running water when no fixtures are on, soggy spots or sinkholes in your yard (a key sign of clay soil affecting sewer lines), and slow drains throughout the house. If you notice any of these, a professional inspection can determine if it's due to soil movement or aging pipes.

We focus on the vulnerabilities of older local homes. This includes checking galvanized or cast iron pipes for corrosion and leaks, assessing the alignment and integrity of sewer lines for breaks caused by clay soil expansion/contraction, and examining water pressure to identify weaknesses in the whole system. Our report gives you a clear picture of your plumbing's health and prioritizes repairs for your safety and home's value.
