Mikkila Heating And AC | Trusted Plumber in Leicester, MA

Our comprehensive plumbing inspection for Leicester homes includes a thorough video camera inspection of your drain lines. This allows us to visually assess the condition of your cast iron pipes from the inside, identifying any active corrosion, bellies, or hairline cracks before they lead to a full break or sewage backup. We'll provide a clear report and honest recommendations, which may include proactive cleaning or a plan for targeted replacement, saving you from unexpected and costly emergency repairs.

Absolutely. While our HVAC maintenance focuses on your heating and cooling systems, a well-maintained home environment is interconnected. During a maintenance visit, we check that all kitchen exhaust fans and range hoods are operating efficiently. Proper ventilation helps reduce the amount of grease vapor that can settle and cool inside your drain pipes, contributing to those tough clogs. We can also advise on best practices for grease disposal to protect your plumbing between professional cleanings.

Yes, we specialize in repairs that tackle the root cause of local issues. For a grease-clogged kitchen drain, we don't just use a standard snake that might leave residue behind. We employ high-pressure water jetting, which is highly effective at scouring the entire pipe diameter clean, breaking up the solidified grease and restoring full flow. This method is safer for your older pipes than harsh chemicals and provides a longer-lasting solution, keeping your Leicester home's plumbing in top shape.
