We can check for slow drainage, measure pipe integrity, and recommend specific cleaning or maintenance *before* a complete clog causes a backup. This proactive approach saves you from the hassle and expense of emergency drain cleaning down the line.

If you notice a shutoff valve is leaking, won't turn fully, or feels loose, it's likely failing. The first step is to call for a professional inspection. At Mike Henson Plumbing, we will assess the valve's condition, locate your main water shutoff as a temporary safety measure, and explain your repair or replacement options. Replacing a faulty valve is crucial to prevent water damage and ensure you can quickly isolate water flow during other repairs.

This knowledge helps you plan and budget for repairs strategically, protecting your home's value and preventing unexpected failures.
