McCarthy Plumbing: Experienced Plumbing Repair Serving Colorado Springs, CO 80917

Our inspections use specialized cameras to look deep into your sewer line. In Colorado Springs, tree roots are a major culprit for clogs and breaks. The inspection allows us to spot early signs of root infiltration—like hair-like roots or minor cracks—long before you experience a full backup. Catching it early means we can often clear the roots and recommend preventive measures, saving you from a much more expensive emergency repair down the line.

The best practice is to never pour grease, oil, or fat down the drain, even with hot water. In our climate, it can solidify quickly in your pipes. Instead, let it cool and solidify in the pan, then scrape it into your trash. For preventative maintenance, schedule a routine plumbing inspection with us. We can check your kitchen drain lines for any early buildup and use safe, professional methods to clear it before it causes a slow drain or complete clog.

Many older Colorado Springs neighborhoods have mature trees with extensive root systems, and older sewer lines can be more vulnerable to cracks and joint failures. A professional plumbing inspection gives you a clear picture of your system's health. It identifies weak spots where roots might intrude or where decades of grease accumulation could be lurking. This knowledge lets you address problems proactively, protecting your home's foundation and plumbing from the damage caused by sewer backups.
