Plumbing Service Birmingham AL | Call Falkner Plumbing Services

Absolutely. During a routine plumbing inspection, our technicians thoroughly assess your kitchen drains and pipes for early signs of buildup from grease, soap, and food particles common in Birmingham households. We can identify slow drains or potential blockages before they cause a complete backup, allowing us to perform a professional cleaning and offer advice on proper disposal habits to keep your system clear.

Our plumbing inspection includes a comprehensive evaluation of your sump pump system, which is crucial for Birmingham homes prone to heavy rain. We test the pump's operation, check the discharge line for clogs, ensure the float switch moves freely, and verify the backup power system. This proactive check can reveal wear, impending failure, or installation problems, allowing us to repair or replace the unit before the next storm hits.

For older Birmingham homes, our inspection focuses on aging infrastructure. We meticulously check for corrosion in galvanized pipes, root intrusion in sewer lines, the condition of outdated fixtures, and the integrity of the main water shut-off valve. We also pay special attention to areas known for local issues, like inspecting drain lines for historic grease accumulation and ensuring the foundation drainage and sump pump are adequate for the property's age and location.
