Plumbing Service Pewaukee WI | Call P J's Plumbing Co

Basement flooding in our area is often caused by sump pump failure, compromised drain tiles, or cracks in the foundation plumbing. Our comprehensive plumbing inspection includes checking your sump pump's operation, assessing the condition of your main sewer line for potential blockages or root intrusion, and looking for any signs of leaks or weaknesses in pipes running through the foundation. Identifying these issues early allows us to make repairs before the next heavy rain, giving you peace of mind and protecting your basement from water damage.

First, always turn off the power to the disposal at the circuit breaker. Never put your hand down the drain. For a simple jam, you can often use the included hex key (or an Allen wrench) to manually turn the motor from the bottom of the unit to free it. If that doesn't work, it's time to call us. Yes, checking and clearing garbage disposal jams is a standard part of our plumbing inspection service in Pewaukee. We'll safely clear the obstruction, check the blades and motor, and advise if a repair or replacement is needed to prevent future issues.

Older homes in Pewaukee often have original galvanized steel pipes, which corrode and restrict water flow over decades, or older clay sewer lines susceptible to root invasion and collapse. A professional inspection gives you a clear picture of your entire system's health. We use tools like drain cameras to visually inspect hidden pipes, check water pressure, and look for signs of corrosion or leaks behind walls. This proactive approach helps you budget for necessary updates, like pipe replacement, before an unexpected and costly failure like a major leak or sewer backup occurs.
