Plumbing Contractor Waterford CT | Call McCarthy D J Plumbing & Heating

Our plumbing inspection includes a thorough check of your kitchen plumbing, including the disposal unit, drain lines, and electrical connections. We look for early signs of wear, minor clogs, or improper installation that often lead to the jams we frequently see in Waterford homes. Identifying these issues early allows for simple adjustments or cleaning, preventing a full breakdown and the inconvenience of a clogged sink.

Given our area's weather and soil conditions, a failing sump pump is a common cause of basement water damage in Waterford. During an inspection, we test the pump's operation, check the discharge line for clogs or freezing points, and inspect the pit for debris. This proactive check ensures your primary defense against flooding is ready, especially before heavy rains or spring thaws.

Not necessarily. Many jams we service in Waterford are caused by foreign objects, grease buildup, or a simple reset issue. Our inspection will determine the exact cause. Often, we can safely clear the jam, sharpen the blades, and provide tips on proper use to extend its life. We only recommend replacement if the unit is damaged or excessively worn, always giving you straightforward, neighborly advice.
