Plumbing Company Milton VT | Call Bob's Central Heating & Plumbing

During a plumbing inspection, we specifically check your vent stack for proper insulation and any potential blockages that could lead to freezing. Catching issues early allows us to recommend preventative measures, like adding insulation or a heat cable, to keep air flowing and prevent the ice blockages that can cause slow drains or sewer gases to back up into your home.

Our inspection involves using specialized cameras to look deep into your bathroom drain lines, identifying the location and severity of buildup from soap, hair, and minerals common in our local water. This tells us exactly what we're dealing with, so we can recommend the most effective solution—whether it's a high-pressure jetting to clear it completely or advice on simple maintenance to slow future buildup.

While store-bought cleaners might offer a temporary fix, they often don't reach the full extent of the blockage and can damage your pipes over time. A professional inspection from Bob's identifies the root cause of the slowdown. It could be simple buildup, a deeper clog, or even a partially frozen vent line—issues a chemical cleaner can't solve. Getting the right diagnosis saves you money and prevents more serious damage.
