Desmarais Plumbing & Heating - Johnston's Local Plumbing Company

Yes, absolutely. Our detailed plumbing inspections in Johnston homes include checking your main sewer line for blockages, tree root intrusion, or structural issues that commonly lead to backups. Identifying these problems early allows us to recommend proactive repairs or cleaning, potentially saving you from the messy and expensive emergency of a full sewer backup.

Yes, this is a common issue in older Johnston homes. A broken or seized shutoff valve can prevent you from quickly stopping water flow during a leak, leading to significant water damage. During a plumbing inspection, we specifically test these valves and can replace them with new, reliable models, giving you peace of mind and control in an emergency.

Our comprehensive inspection for Johnston residents is designed to catch local problems. We check all visible pipes for leaks or corrosion, test water pressure, inspect fixtures and water heaters, and critically examine the main shutoff valve and sewer line access points. This proactive approach helps us spot the early signs of issues like sewer line problems or valve failures common in our area.
