Absolutely. During a comprehensive plumbing inspection, we check your entire system, including the garbage disposal's connections, seals, and motor function. For many Lake Charles homes, jams and leaks are caused by worn parts or improper installation. An inspection can spot these issues early, preventing a minor annoyance from turning into a major clog or water leak under your sink.

A professional inspection is the best first step. We'll check the dishwasher's supply line, drain hose, and the connection to your garbage disposal (a common source of leaks). In many Lake Charles homes, mineral buildup or a loose clamp can cause slow leaks that damage cabinetry. Our inspection pinpoints the exact cause—whether it's the appliance itself or your home's plumbing—so we can make the right repair and prevent costly water damage.

In most kitchen setups, the dishwasher drains directly into the garbage disposal. If the disposal is jammed or has a clogged drain line, it can cause the dishwasher to back up and leak. As your local plumbing experts, we see this connection often. A full plumbing inspection allows us to assess both units together, ensuring a fix for your dishwasher leak also addresses any underlying disposal problem, saving you time and future callbacks.
