Question Answers

My drains in Plainfield are constantly slow or clogged. What's the most common local cause, and how do you fix it?

In many Plainfield homes, especially older ones, recurring drain clogs are often due to a combination of Indiana's clay-heavy soil affecting sewer lines and mineral buildup from our hard water. We don't just snake the drain; we perform a thorough plumbing inspection with a camera to identify the root cause, whether it's a partial collapse in the main line, intrusive tree roots, or scale buildup. Based on what we find, we provide a clear recommendation, which could range from hydro-jetting to clear the pipe to a precise trenchless repair if excavation is needed, always aiming for the most effective and least disruptive solution.

Do you handle both the plumbing and excavation work for a project, like installing a new sewer line?

Yes, absolutely. As Mike Terry Plumbing and Excavating, we are uniquely equipped to manage the entire project from start to finish. For a sewer line installation, our team handles all the excavation, trench digging, and site preparation ourselves. We then complete the precise plumbing installation of the new line, followed by proper soil backfilling and compaction. This integrated approach means you have one accountable team for the entire job, which improves coordination, often reduces the overall timeline, and ensures the excavation work supports the long-term integrity of the new plumbing system.

What should I do if my washing machine hose bursts, causing water damage in my home?

First, immediately shut off the water supply to the washing machine at the dedicated shut-off valves (usually behind it). Then, turn off the machine's power. Give us a call—we offer 24/7 emergency service for exactly these situations. We'll dispatch a technician to not only repair or replace the burst hose but also to check the related plumbing connections and your home's main water pressure, as high pressure is a common culprit. We can also advise on preventative steps, like installing braided stainless steel hoses, which are more durable and a service we provide to help Plainfield homeowners avoid future flooding.
