C & C Plumbing & Heating - Watseka's Trusted Plumbing Service

Yes, absolutely. During a plumbing inspection, we specifically test your sump pump's operation, check the discharge line for clogs, and ensure the pit is clear of debris—common failure points in our area. This proactive check can identify wear or impending failure, allowing us to repair or replace the unit before the next heavy rain, preventing potential basement flooding.

We'll examine the disposal unit for common local issues like worn blades or internal corrosion. More importantly, we check for improper installation, loose connections, or electrical faults that can cause frequent jams. We also assess your overall drain lines for slow flow that can contribute to backups, providing a complete solution to keep your kitchen running smoothly.

We recommend an annual plumbing inspection, especially before winter and the rainy spring season. This timing helps catch sump pump issues before spring thaws and ensures outdoor faucets and pipes are prepared for freezing temperatures. For older homes or those with known issues, more frequent checks may be advised to prevent the common problems we see in the area.
