Plumbing Company Gainesville GA | Call B & H Plumbing

A professional plumbing inspection uses specialized camera equipment to see inside your main sewer line. This allows us to spot the early signs of tree root intrusion, which is very common in our area. Catching it early means we can often clear the roots with a less invasive, more affordable method before they cause a complete blockage or crack the pipe, saving you from a major sewer backup and expensive excavation.

Many older homes in Gainesville have gate-style shutoff valves that can corrode or seize up over time, especially if they aren't used regularly. During our inspection, we test every main shutoff valve—for the home, individual fixtures, and outdoor spigots—to ensure they turn on and off smoothly. Replacing a broken valve before it's needed in an emergency is a small investment that prevents uncontrolled water leaks and significant water damage.

Keep an eye out for slow drains throughout the house, gurgling toilets, or sewage odors, which can indicate roots in the sewer line. For shutoff valves, if you notice minor leaks around the valve stem or it's extremely difficult to turn, it's likely failing. As your local plumber, we encourage Gainesville residents to call us at the first sign of these issues. Addressing them promptly is always more cost-effective than waiting for a failure.
