Plumbing Company Grand Island NY | Call RJM Contracting & Plumbing

Absolutely. Many Grand Island basements flood due to overwhelmed or failing drainage systems and sewer lines. Our comprehensive plumbing inspection includes checking your main sewer line for blockages or cracks, assessing your sump pump's functionality, and evaluating your home's overall drainage. Identifying these issues early allows us to make repairs or recommend preventative measures, like installing a backwater valve, to significantly reduce your risk of flooding.

In Grand Island, sewer backups are often caused by tree root intrusion into older pipes or gradual pipe collapse. Our camera inspection sends a live video feed through your sewer line, allowing us to spot roots, cracks, bellies (sags), and blockages long before they cause a backup into your home. This proactive approach lets us plan a repair, such as trenchless pipe lining, on your schedule, avoiding the emergency and mess of a full sewer backup.

Given the local issues with basement water and sewer systems, a standard home inspection often isn't enough. Our specialized plumbing inspection for home buyers goes deeper. We'll camera-scope the main sewer line to the street, test water pressure and drainage flow, and inspect for any signs of past or potential water intrusion. This can reveal hidden, expensive problems, giving you peace of mind or crucial negotiating power before you finalize your purchase.
