Local Plumbing Contractor in Pueblo, CO 81003 - Jerman Trenching & Excavating

Our inspection for a suspected kitchen grease clog starts with a sewer camera scan. We send a high-resolution camera down your main line to visually confirm the clog's location and composition. This allows us to assess if it's a simple drain cleanout or if the grease has hardened and caused a more significant blockage requiring excavation. For Pueblo homes, this precise diagnosis prevents unnecessary digging and targets the real problem.

Yes, absolutely. Pueblo's clay-rich soil can expand when wet, putting pressure on your foundation. A slow leak from a dishwasher hose under the concrete slab can saturate the soil over time. Our plumbing inspection uses leak detection equipment and cameras to pinpoint the leak's source without guesswork, so you can repair it before it leads to costly foundation cracks or uneven floors.

Snaking a drain clears the immediate blockage but doesn't identify the root cause. A camera inspection shows us the pipe's condition—whether it's cracked, bellied, or damaged by tree roots common in Pueblo. This tells us if a simple cleaning is enough or if a more permanent repair like pipe lining or excavation is needed to prevent the clog from happening again next month.
