RICKEY LEWIS PLUMBING: Top-Rated Plumbing Repair Serving Gilmer, TX 75644

Absolutely. During a comprehensive plumbing inspection, we use specialized cameras to look inside your pipes. This allows us to spot the early buildup of grease and food debris from your kitchen drains—a common issue for Gilmer homes. Catching it early means we can clear it with less invasive methods, preventing a full blockage that could lead to messy and damaging backups in your sink or under your home.

Unusual noises from your sump pump in Gilmer are a red flag. During an inspection, we'll check several key things: the power source, the float switch for proper movement, the discharge line for clogs or freezing, and the pump itself for wear or debris. Given our local weather, ensuring the discharge line directs water well away from your foundation is critical. An inspection can determine if it's a simple fix or if the pump needs replacement to prevent basement or crawl space flooding.

We recommend a professional plumbing inspection at least once a year for most homes. Given local factors like our soil composition, hard water, and seasonal weather shifts, proactive checks are wise. An annual inspection helps us spot minor issues with drains, water heaters, and sump pumps before they turn into major repairs, saving you money and stress. It's especially important if your home is older or if you've recently experienced slow drains or changes in water pressure.
