Huffstetler Plumbing | Plumbing Services in Columbia, SC 29229

A thorough plumbing inspection from Huffstetler Plumbing goes beyond just clearing the immediate clog. We use camera technology to inspect your pipes from the inside, identifying issues like tree root intrusion, pipe scale buildup, or misalignments common in our local soil conditions. This allows us to address the underlying cause in Columbia homes, preventing the same clogs from happening again and again.

For a jammed disposal, we recommend turning off the power at the circuit breaker first. You can carefully try using the included hex key to manually rotate the blades from underneath to dislodge an object. However, if it remains stuck or you hear unusual noises, it's best to stop and call us. Forcing it can damage the motor or blades. Our plumbing inspection can safely diagnose if the jam is simple or if there's a more serious mechanical issue, saving you from potential injury or further damage.

Our standard inspection for Columbia homeowners includes checking all visible pipes for leaks or corrosion, testing water pressure, inspecting fixtures like faucets and toilets, and assessing your water heater and drainage systems. We pay special attention to areas prone to local issues. We recommend a professional inspection annually for preventative maintenance, or before buying a home, to catch small problems before they become major headaches like sewage backups or water damage.
