Plumbing Contractor Chattanooga TN | Call Harris Plumbing

Regular plumbing inspections by Harris Plumbing can identify early warning signs of sewer line issues, such as slow drains, gurgling sounds, or minor backups, before they turn into a major problem. We check for root intrusion, pipe corrosion, and blockages common in our area. Catching these issues early through a scheduled inspection is a proactive way to prevent the messy and damaging sewer backups that can affect homes in Chattanooga.

We can often repair a faulty sump pump, especially if the issue is with the switch, a clogged intake screen, or a stuck check valve—common problems we see locally. However, if the pump is old, frequently cycles, or has a burned-out motor, a replacement is usually more cost-effective and reliable for long-term protection against basement flooding. During a service call, we'll diagnose the cause and recommend the best solution for your home.

First, stop using all water in the house—avoid sinks, toilets, showers, and appliances. This prevents adding more volume to the already blocked system. If safe to do so, locate and check your main cleanout access point. Do not use chemical drain cleaners, as they can worsen the blockage and damage pipes. Simply call Harris Plumbing. Our Chattanooga team will respond promptly to diagnose the severity and use professional equipment to clear the line safely and completely.
