Frequently Asked Questions
What is a plumbing inspection, and why might I need one in Seattle?
A plumbing inspection is a thorough assessment of your home's pipes, drains, and sewer line. In Seattle, with our older housing stock and dense tree roots, inspections are crucial for identifying hidden problems like pipe corrosion, root intrusion, or blockages from local grease buildup before they cause major backups or property damage. We use specialized cameras to provide a clear view of your system's health.
My dishwasher is leaking. Is this connected to my main sewer line?
Often, yes. In many Seattle homes, dishwasher wastewater drains into the same line as your kitchen sink. A leak or recurring backup can signal a clog in this shared pipe, frequently caused by accumulated food particles and grease—a common local issue. We can perform a targeted inspection to pinpoint the exact location of the clog or leak and clear it efficiently.
As a Registered Side Sewer Contractor (RSSC), what does that mean for my repair?
Being an RSSC means we are specifically licensed and certified by the City of Seattle to perform work on private side sewers—the pipe connecting your home to the public main. This certification ensures our work meets all city codes and standards, which is essential for proper permitting and long-lasting repairs that protect your property and comply with local regulations.
