Big Steves Septic | Local Plumbing Contractor in Bonne Terre, MO

Absolutely. A professional plumbing inspection from Big Steve's Septic can identify early warning signs like slow drains, gurgling sounds, or minor clogs that often precede a major sewer backup. By using camera technology, we can pinpoint issues in your main line—like tree root intrusion or grease buildup common in our area—and address them proactively, saving you from a messy and costly emergency.

In Bonne Terre's older homes, kitchen grease cools and solidifies inside pipes, creating stubborn clogs that trap food debris. A detailed plumbing inspection allows us to locate these grease blockages precisely. We can then recommend the most effective solution, whether it's a high-pressure jetting to clear the line or advice on preventative habits to keep your kitchen drains flowing freely.

When you call us for recurring slow drains or clogs, our inspection is comprehensive. We'll start by checking your visible fixtures and drains, then often use a sewer camera to visually inspect the hidden pipes leading from your house to the main sewer or septic tank. This lets us create a clear report on the condition of your pipes, identify any cracks, offsets, or blockages, and provide a straightforward plan to solve the problem for good.
