Ace Plumbing & Heating: Qualified Plumbing Contractor Serving Lake Charles 70615

A comprehensive plumbing inspection from Ace Plumbing & Heating uses specialized equipment, like electronic leak detection, to assess the health of your water lines. In Lake Charles, where soil movement can stress pipes, we check for early signs of corrosion or pressure loss that could lead to a slab leak. Identifying weak points early allows us to perform targeted repairs, potentially saving you from the major disruption and expense of a full slab leak repair down the line.

First, always turn off the power to the disposal at the circuit breaker. Then, you can try using an Allen wrench (often provided with the unit) to manually rotate the impellers from the bottom to dislodge the obstruction. Never use your hands. If this doesn't work, or if you hear a humming sound, the motor may be stalled. For persistent jams or strange noises common in Lake Charles homes, it's best to call us. We can safely clear the jam and inspect the unit to prevent future issues.

Our standard inspection for Lake Charles homeowners is thorough. We check all visible pipes for leaks or corrosion, test water pressure, inspect faucets and fixtures, and assess your water heater's condition. Crucially, we examine drainage systems for slow flows that indicate clogs and use tools to evaluate pipes hidden in walls or under slabs for early leak signs. This proactive check-up gives you a complete picture of your system's health, helping to prevent the emergencies our local climate and soil can cause.
