Litten Plumbing Heating & Excavating | Plumbing Services in Newark, OH 43055

Our thorough plumbing inspection for older Newark homes focuses on high-risk areas like aging sewer lines, checking for root intrusion, cracks, and bellies that cause slow drains. We also examine your water heater for sediment buildup, test water pressure, and inspect fixtures for leaks. This proactive check helps us identify issues common in our area before they lead to major damage or a complete system failure.

Many Newark homes have older clay or cast iron sewer lines that can crack or collapse over time. Our inspection uses specialized camera equipment to visually inspect the interior of your main sewer line from the house to the street. This allows us to spot problems like root intrusion, offset joints, or sediment blockages early. By identifying these issues, we can recommend targeted repairs like trenchless lining or spot repairs to prevent a full, messy, and expensive backup.

A common issue in our area is sediment buildup from hard water settling at the bottom of your water heater tank. This acts like an insulator, forcing the unit to work harder and reducing its efficiency and lifespan. During our plumbing inspection, we check for this sediment and can perform a safe flush to remove it. We'll also inspect the anode rod, heating elements, and pressure relief valve to ensure your system is operating safely and efficiently, restoring your hot water supply.
