Plumbing Service University Place WA | Call Fat Tony's Plumbing

A professional plumbing inspection includes checking all appliance connections, including your washing machine hoses. We look for signs of wear, brittleness, or weak fittings that are common causes of sudden bursts. By identifying and replacing a compromised hose during an inspection, we can prevent the water damage and cleanup that often follows a failure, giving you peace of mind.

During an inspection, we don't just clear the current jam. We examine the disposal unit's blades for wear, check the motor operation, and inspect the drain line for obstructions or improper slope that contribute to recurring issues. We'll provide honest advice on whether a repair, a more powerful model, or simple habit changes (like what not to put down the drain) will solve the problem for good.

We recommend a comprehensive plumbing inspection every 1-2 years for most homes. This routine check-up is especially valuable for catching small issues—like a slowly leaking connection or a aging washing machine hose—before they turn into major repairs or water damage. It's a smart, proactive step to protect your home's value and avoid inconvenient emergencies.
