About Rivertown Plumbing in Kettering, OH

Common signs include multiple drains gurgling or backing up simultaneously, especially in lower fixtures like basement toilets or showers. You might notice unpleasant sewer odors or see sewage surfacing in floor drains. These issues are common here due to aging infrastructure and root intrusion. If you experience this, it's crucial to call a professional like Rivertown Plumbing immediately for a thorough inspection and hydro-jetting or repair to prevent extensive water damage.

In Kettering, signs of pipe corrosion often include discolored water (brown or yellow tint), a persistent metallic taste, low water pressure, or visible leaks around pipe joints. Frequent leaks or pinholes are a clear indicator. Our plumbing inspection service can assess your pipes using video technology. We can then discuss repair options, such as spot repairs for isolated issues or full pipe replacement with modern, corrosion-resistant materials like PEX or copper to provide a long-term solution.

While they are separate systems, a failed sump pump can indirectly contribute to basement flooding, which may overwhelm floor drains connected to your sewer line. In our area with heavy rains, a working sump pump is vital for managing groundwater. We recommend regular sump pump inspection and repair, and we can also install a battery backup system. Protecting your basement from water helps maintain proper pressure in your main sewer line, reducing the risk of a backup.
