Plumbing Service Washington Court House OH | Call Nichols Michael Plumbing

A professional plumbing inspection looks beyond just the disposal unit itself. Our technicians check for underlying issues like improper drain line slope, partial clogs further down the line, or even worn seals that can cause recurring jams. By identifying and fixing these root causes during an inspection, we can help prevent the frustrating and frequent jams that many local homeowners experience, saving you from future kitchen disruptions.

In our area, heavy seasonal rains and clay soil put a lot of demand on sump pumps, leading to wear on components like the float switch, check valve, and impeller. During a plumbing inspection, we test the pump's operation, check for proper discharge away from your foundation, and look for signs of corrosion or sediment buildup. Catching a faulty switch or a failing pump before it quits during a storm is crucial to preventing costly basement flooding in Washington Court House.

We start by safely clearing the immediate jam. However, as your local plumbing experts, we know a single jam can be a symptom of a larger issue. We typically recommend a quick check of the connected drain lines and the disposal's mounting during the service call. This neighborly approach helps ensure the fix lasts and can identify if a more comprehensive plumbing inspection is needed to prevent future problems in your home.
