Q&A

How can a plumbing inspection from Gates Plumbing help prevent a sewer backup in my Decatur home?

A thorough plumbing inspection allows us to check the condition of your main sewer line using a camera. We can spot early warning signs like root intrusion, cracks, or blockages that are common in our area. Catching these issues early with an inspection can prevent a full, messy sewer backup, saving you from costly emergency repairs and property damage.

My toilet seems to leak at the base occasionally. Will your inspection find the cause?

Absolutely. A leaking toilet seal (wax ring) is a frequent issue we see in Decatur homes. Our inspection includes a detailed check of all toilet seals for wear, improper installation, or a shifting floor. We'll identify if the leak is from the seal or another source, giving you a clear, expert diagnosis so we can make a precise, lasting repair.

I'm not having an emergency now, but should I get a preventative plumbing inspection in Decatur?

Yes, especially given our local soil conditions and aging infrastructure that contribute to sewer and seal problems. A preventative inspection is like a check-up for your home's plumbing. It gives you a complete picture of your system's health, helps you plan and budget for any needed maintenance, and is the best way to avoid unexpected and disruptive plumbing emergencies down the road.
