About John Solberg Plumbing in Charleston, WV

For older homes in Charleston, a thorough inspection should check for signs of corrosion in galvanized pipes, slow drains indicating potential blockages, and the condition of your sump pump system. Our inspections focus on these aging system components to identify small issues before they become major repairs or cause water damage, giving you peace of mind.

We can often repair a faulty sump pump, but for many aging systems in our area, replacement is the more reliable long-term solution. We'll assess the unit's age, the cause of failure, and your basement's needs. Installing a new, high-capacity pump is frequently the best way to prevent future basement flooding, especially with Charleston's heavy rains.

Signs like frequent backups, multiple slow drains, or soggy spots in your yard often point to sewer line issues common in older neighborhoods. We use camera inspections to pinpoint the problem. Many issues, like root intrusion or a broken section, can be repaired. If the line is extensively damaged or corroded, a full replacement may be necessary to ensure a permanent fix.
