Absolutely. A key part of our plumbing inspection is checking the condition and connections of appliance supply lines, including your washing machine hoses. We look for signs of wear, bulging, or brittle material that are common precursors to a burst. By identifying and replacing a failing hose during an inspection, we can prevent the costly water damage and disruption that a sudden burst causes.

First, always turn off the power. You can often use a hex key (allen wrench) inserted into the bottom of the disposal to manually turn the motor and dislodge the jam. To prevent future jams, our plumbing inspection includes checking the disposal's condition, blade sharpness, and ensuring proper installation and drainage flow. We can advise on best practices and recommend an upgrade if your current unit is prone to problems.

We recommend a comprehensive plumbing inspection every 1-2 years for preventative maintenance, especially for older homes in our area. This schedule helps catch minor issues—like a slowly leaking connection or a weakening hose—before they become emergencies. It's also wise to have an inspection after any major weather event involving freezing temperatures, which can stress pipes, and before buying or selling a home.
