About Durham Plumbing & Heating in Grand Junction, CO

A comprehensive plumbing inspection goes beyond just clearing the immediate clog. We use tools like video camera inspections to look inside your pipes and identify the underlying cause, which in our area is often a buildup of mineral deposits or the beginning stages of root intrusion. This allows us to recommend a targeted, long-term solution, such as hydro-jetting or a root treatment plan, to prevent the clogs from recurring and protect your plumbing system.

When we inspect for root intrusion, common in Grand Junction due to our older tree lines seeking water, we specifically check for tell-tale signs like slow drains, gurgling noises, or sewage backups. Using a sewer camera, we can visually confirm if and where roots have penetrated pipe joints or cracks. This precise diagnosis is crucial because it determines the best repair method—whether it's a mechanical root cutting service, hydro-jetting, or in severe cases, discussing pipe repair or replacement options with you.

Proactive inspections are one of the best ways to avoid major emergencies and costly repairs. In Grand Junction, slow-moving root intrusion or hidden pipe damage can be present long before a complete clog or sewer backup occurs. A routine inspection acts like a check-up for your home's plumbing, catching small issues early. This gives you peace of mind, helps maintain your property's value, and allows us to schedule any necessary maintenance at your convenience, not during a stressful emergency.
