Plumbing Repair Preston MN | Call Dave's Plumbing & Heating

Absolutely. During a plumbing inspection, we use specialized cameras to check the condition of your kitchen drain lines. For many Preston homes, we look for the early signs of grease accumulation, which is a common local issue. Catching this buildup early allows us to perform a targeted cleaning before it causes a complete blockage, saving you from a messy and disruptive kitchen backup.

Older plumbing fixtures, including shutoff valves under sinks and toilets, can corrode or seize up over time due to mineral content in our local water. A key part of our plumbing inspection is testing these valves for smooth operation. If we find a valve that's stiff or leaking, we can recommend a proactive replacement. This simple step prevents a minor issue from turning into a major leak when you urgently need to shut off the water.

First, avoid using chemical drain cleaners on suspected grease clogs, as they can damage pipes. For a stiff or leaking shutoff valve, don't force it—this can cause it to break entirely. The best course of action is to call Dave's for a professional plumbing inspection. We'll diagnose the exact cause of the problem, whether it's a clog forming in your kitchen line or a failing valve, and provide a clear, upfront solution to get your plumbing working safely again.
