Over the Mountain Plumbing - Birmingham's Professional Plumbing Company

A professional plumbing inspection uses specialized camera equipment to visually assess the condition of your sewer line from the inside out. In our area, where roots and aging pipes are common, this allows us to spot early signs of buildup, small cracks, or root intrusion long before a complete clog causes a messy backup into your home. Catching these issues early saves you from emergency repairs and protects your property.

Our inspection for your water heater is comprehensive. We'll check the anode rod, which sacrificially corrodes to protect your tank—a critical component in our area's water conditions. We also test the temperature and pressure relief valve, inspect for sediment buildup that accelerates corrosion, and examine the tank and connections for any active leaks or rust. This gives you a clear picture of your unit's health and helps you decide between repair or proactive replacement.

Watch for local warning signs like slower drains throughout the house, gurgling sounds from toilets, rusty water (a sign of interior pipe or heater corrosion), or a sudden drop in water heater efficiency. These can indicate the early stages of the clogged lines or corrosion we commonly see here. Don't wait for a total failure; an inspection can pinpoint the exact issue and provide a solution to restore your system's reliability.
