P. M. S. Plumbing: Trusted Plumbing Contractor Serving Kelso 98626

Moss roots are a common issue in our area, seeking moisture and often invading sewer lines through small cracks. Our comprehensive plumbing inspection uses specialized cameras to scan the interior of your pipes. We can identify early signs of root infiltration, hairline cracks, or joint separations long before they cause a major clog or backup. Catching this early allows for targeted, less invasive repairs like hydro-jetting or spot repairs, saving you from the expense and mess of a full sewer line replacement down the road.

During an inspection, we pay close attention to your laundry area, as burst hoses are a frequent cause of water damage in Kelso homes. We inspect the washing machine supply hoses for signs of wear, bulging, or corrosion at the connections. We also check water pressure, as high pressure can stress these hoses. Based on our findings, we'll recommend replacing old rubber hoses with braided stainless steel ones and may suggest installing a shut-off valve for added safety. This simple check can prevent a major flood in your utility room.

We recommend a full professional inspection every 1-2 years. Given our local challenges with invasive roots and aging home infrastructure, annual checks are ideal for older properties or those with large trees nearby. This regular schedule allows us to monitor pipe condition, catch slow leaks, and track the progression of any issues we've previously noted. Think of it like an annual check-up for your home's vital systems—it's a small investment that provides peace of mind and helps avoid unexpected, costly emergencies.
