About Howard R J Plumbing & Heating in Norwood, MA

A professional plumbing inspection allows us to use specialized cameras to check the condition of your main sewer line, which is a common source of backups in our area. We look for root intrusion, cracks, or blockages before they cause a major problem in your home. Catching these issues early is the best way to prevent the messy and unhealthy situation of a sewer backup.

Absolutely. During a comprehensive plumbing inspection, we assess all fixtures, including your garbage disposal. We check for proper operation, signs of wear, and can identify improper use that leads to jams—a frequent issue we see in Norwood kitchens. We'll advise on proper maintenance and can safely clear any existing jam to restore function.

Keep an eye out for local warning signs like multiple slow drains, gurgling sounds from toilets or drains, or unpleasant odors, as these can indicate developing sewer line issues. If you've had minor disposal jams or backups, it's a smart, proactive step to schedule an inspection. It gives us a chance to find the root cause and prevent a larger emergency down the line.
