Plumbing Contractor Harlan IA | Call Petsche Plumbing & Heating

Absolutely. Our comprehensive plumbing inspection includes checking your main sewer line, floor drains, and sump pump system—key areas where problems often lead to basement flooding in our area. We look for cracks, blockages, or pump failures, providing you with a clear assessment and solutions to protect your home before the next big rain.

First, turn off the power to the disposal at the circuit breaker for safety. Never put your hand down the drain. You can often free a minor jam by using the provided Allen wrench at the bottom of the unit. For stubborn jams or if you're unsure, give Petsche a call. We can safely clear it and inspect for any underlying issues with your kitchen plumbing to prevent future problems.

We recommend a professional inspection every 1-2 years. Given our local soil conditions and weather, proactive checks help catch issues like root intrusion in sewer lines or sump pump wear before they cause major damage. It's especially wise before the spring thaw and rainy seasons to ensure your drainage systems are ready to handle the water.
