Plumbing Company Abington MA | Call Richard Banks Plumbing & Heating Gas

A comprehensive plumbing inspection by our team can identify critical risk factors for basement flooding, which is a common issue in our area due to seasonal rains and aging infrastructure. We check your main sewer line for cracks or root intrusion, assess your sump pump's functionality, and inspect basement plumbing for leaks or weak points. Catching these issues early allows us to make repairs or recommend preventative measures, like installing a backwater valve, to protect your home from costly water damage.

For tough kitchen grease clogs that build up over time, standard store-bought cleaners often just move the problem further down the line. Our professional approach involves using motorized drain snakes or hydro-jetting equipment. Hydro-jetting is particularly effective as it uses high-pressure water to scour the entire interior of your pipes, removing hardened grease, soap scum, and food debris all the way to the main line. This method provides a more thorough, long-lasting solution than chemical treatments and helps prevent future clogs.

Keep an eye out for several key signs that it's time to call us for an inspection. These include slow drains throughout the house, gurgling sounds from toilets or drains, unexplained increases in your water bill, soggy spots in your yard (which could indicate a leaking sewer line), or a musty smell in the basement. Given our local soil conditions and weather, being proactive with an inspection can save you from the major headache and expense of a full basement flood or a severe sewer backup.
