Questions and Answers

How can a plumbing inspection help prevent a dishwasher leak in my Philadelphia home?

A thorough plumbing inspection by our team at Spence Plumbing & Heating proactively checks the water supply lines, drain connections, and the integrity of the dishwasher valve—common failure points for leaks. In Philly homes, these connections can wear from age and water pressure fluctuations. We identify worn hoses, loose fittings, or early signs of corrosion before they fail, saving you from water damage to your cabinetry and floors.

My garbage disposal in South Philly keeps jamming. What would your inspection look for?

Our expert plumbing inspection goes beyond just clearing the jam. We examine the disposal unit for dull blades or motor issues, check for improper installation that can cause frequent jams, and inspect the drain line for obstructions. We also look for common local culprits like potato peels or fibrous materials that Philly homeowners might accidentally put down the drain, providing tips to prevent future jams.

I suspect a slow leak under my dishwasher. Can Spence Plumbing & Heating diagnose this without a major tear-out?

Absolutely. Our detailed plumbing inspections use specialized tools, like moisture meters and inspection cameras where accessible, to detect hidden moisture and pinpoint the source of a slow leak behind or under your appliance. This targeted approach allows us to diagnose the issue—often a faulty seal or a small crack in the drain hose—without unnecessary demolition, saving you time, money, and hassle.
