Absolutely. A professional plumbing inspection is your first line of defense. Our technicians assess your main sewer line, check for proper grading, and inspect backflow prevention devices. For Shreveport homes, we pay special attention to signs of groundwater intrusion into pipes, which is a common precursor to backups. Identifying these risks early allows us to recommend solutions like sump pumps or pipe reinforcement before a messy and damaging backup occurs.

We use a combination of visual checks, pressure testing, and sometimes specialized video camera equipment. We examine exposed pipes in basements, crawl spaces, and under sinks for corrosion, mineral buildup, or moisture—key indicators of a failing joint. By pressurizing the system, we can often detect small leaks at joints that aren't yet visible. Catching these early is crucial in our climate to prevent water damage and mold growth.

Request a comprehensive inspection that focuses on our local challenges. Be sure to ask us to: 1) Pressure test all water supply lines to check joint integrity, 2) Perform a video drain line inspection to look for root intrusion or joint separation exacerbated by our soil, and 3) Evaluate your home's overall drainage and foundation perimeter for signs of high groundwater affecting your plumbing. This targeted approach helps us build a prevention plan for your specific property.
