Stillwaters Plumbing - Cashmere's Best Plumbing Contractor

Our thorough plumbing inspection focuses on the parts of your system most vulnerable to heavy rain. We check for proper grading around foundation drains, inspect your main sewer line for cracks or root intrusion that can worsen with saturated soil, and ensure your sump pump (if you have one) is in working order. Identifying and fixing these weak points before the rainy season can drastically reduce your risk of a costly and messy indoor sewer backup.

We examine all exterior drains, including gutters, downspouts, and yard drains, to ensure they are clear of leaves, pine needles, and debris common in our area. We also verify that downspouts extend far enough from your foundation and that the drainage flow on your property is directing water away from the home. A blockage here can cause water to pool near your foundation, increasing pressure on your underground pipes and potentially leading to backups or foundation damage.

The ideal time is in late summer or early fall, before our heavy seasonal rains begin. This gives us time to identify any issues and complete necessary repairs while the ground is drier and more accessible. Being proactive with an inspection allows you to enter the wet season with confidence, knowing your home's plumbing is prepared to handle the influx of water.
