About Bates Plumbing in Snohomish, WA

Absolutely. During a professional plumbing inspection, we specifically check toilet seals for early signs of failure, which are a common issue in Snohomish homes. Identifying a worn wax ring or loose connection early prevents water from seeping into your subfloor, avoiding costly repairs for rot or mold.

Our inspections include checking the dishwasher's supply line, drain hose, and the integrity of its connections—all common points of failure. We look for corrosion, loose fittings, or worn gaskets that could lead to leaks under your sink or behind your appliance, allowing for proactive repair before a leak occurs.

We recommend a routine inspection every 1-2 years as preventative maintenance, especially given our local climate. Schedule one immediately if you notice signs of a slow leak, like a musty smell under sinks, unexplained moisture, or a higher water bill. It's the best way to address common local issues like toilet and dishwasher leaks early.
