Plumbing Service Carbondale IL | Call Gentry Plumbing

Our inspection is comprehensive, especially for Carbondale's older properties. We use video camera technology to visually inspect your main sewer line for signs of aging, root intrusion, or bellied pipes—common issues here. We also check all fixtures, water pressure, and look for hidden leaks, paying special attention to kitchen drain lines where grease buildup is frequent. This proactive check helps us catch small problems before they become major, disruptive repairs.

Many sewer backups in Carbondale are caused by aging, cracked, or collapsed lines. Our inspection includes a video sewer line scan that shows us the exact condition of your pipes underground. If we spot cracks, root growth, or a belly (a sagging section that traps waste), we can recommend repairs like trenchless pipe lining *before* a complete blockage occurs. This saves you from the mess, stress, and higher cost of an emergency backup cleanup.

Kitchen drains in Carbondale often struggle with grease, oils, and food waste that solidify in pipes over time, especially in cooler months. Our inspection assesses the flow and condition of your kitchen drain line. If we find significant buildup, we can perform a professional hydro-jetting to clear it completely and recommend best practices, like using drain strainers, to prevent future clogs. This is more effective than temporary chemical fixes and protects your plumbing system long-term.
