Lester Mechanical Services - Martinsville's Qualified Plumbing Contractor

Given the hard water and older pipe systems common in our area, a professional plumbing inspection is the best defense. We use drain cameras to look deep into your pipes, identifying the scale buildup, small obstructions, or pipe bellies that lead to slow drains and complete blockages. Catching these issues early with an inspection allows us to clear them efficiently and recommend preventative maintenance, saving you from the headache and cost of a major backup.

Yes, that's a common warning sign we see locally. A pump that runs non-stop can indicate improper installation, a switch failure, or that it's undersized for your home's water table. During our inspection, we check the pump's capacity, the discharge line for clogs or freezing, and the integrity of the pit and check valve. We'll diagnose the cause and provide a repair or recommend a correctly sized, reliable replacement to ensure your basement stays dry during our heavy downpours.

For our older Martinsville homes, our inspection focuses on area-specific risks. We thoroughly check for galvanized pipe corrosion, which restricts water flow and causes buildup. We inspect sewer lines for root intrusion from mature trees and check for failing cast iron pipes. We also evaluate water pressure and look for signs of past leaks that could indicate wider issues. The goal is to give you a clear, honest picture of your system's health and prioritize any repairs to prevent emergencies.
