A professional plumbing inspection uses camera technology to see inside your sewer line. In Rochester, where clay soil and tree roots are common, we can spot early signs of cracks, blockages, or root intrusion before they cause a full backup. Identifying these issues early allows for targeted repairs, saving you from the mess, expense, and health hazards of a major sewer backup.

Yes, absolutely. In our area, a constantly running sump pump is often a sign it's working too hard due to a high water table or potential failure. Our inspection checks the pump's motor, float switch, discharge line, and pit condition. We can determine if it needs repair, a capacity upgrade, or a battery backup to ensure it reliably protects your basement from flooding during Rochester's stormy seasons.

Our local-focused inspection goes beyond basic checks. We specifically examine the main sewer line for signs of collapse common in older neighborhoods, test sump pump operation under simulated load, check for proper grading and drainage away from your foundation, and inspect water heaters and pipes for corrosion from our mineral-rich water. This comprehensive view helps us create a maintenance plan tailored to your home's needs in our climate.
