Hatcher Plumbing | Qualified Plumbing Service in Johnston, SC

A professional plumbing inspection uses specialized cameras to see inside your sewer lines. In Johnston, where tree roots commonly infiltrate pipes, this allows us to spot early signs of root growth or minor cracks before they cause a major backup. Catching it early means a simpler, more affordable repair, saving you from the hassle and expense of a full sewer line replacement.

Absolutely. Checking all accessible shutoff valves is a standard part of our comprehensive plumbing inspection. A faulty main or fixture shutoff valve is a common issue for Johnston homeowners and can lead to significant water damage during a plumbing emergency. We'll test their operation, identify any that are corroded or broken, and recommend repair or replacement to ensure you can quickly stop the water if needed.

Keep an eye out for local warning signs like slow drains throughout the house, gurgling sounds from toilets, or unexplained soft spots in your yard—these can indicate sewer line issues common in our area. Also, if your water pressure has dropped or you're dealing with recurring clogs, an inspection can find the root cause. We recommend a proactive inspection every few years or before purchasing an older home to avoid unexpected problems.
