Frequently Asked Questions
Can a plumbing inspection catch early signs of sewer root intrusion in West Columbia?
Absolutely. During our detailed plumbing inspection, we use specialized camera equipment to visually inspect your main sewer line. This allows us to spot the early signs of tree root infiltration common in our local soil, such as small cracks or hairline fractures where roots can enter. Catching this early is crucial to prevent a full blockage or a costly sewer line break.
What does a Sturkie Plumbing inspection check for with my sump pump?
Our inspection is tailored to West Columbia's needs. We test your sump pump's operation, check the discharge line for clogs or freezing points, verify the integrity of the pit, and ensure the float switch activates correctly. Given our area's susceptibility to heavy rain and groundwater, this check helps prevent basement flooding from a faulty pump.
How often should I get a plumbing inspection for my West Columbia home?
We recommend a professional plumbing inspection at least once a year. For older homes or properties with large trees near the sewer line, more frequent checks can be wise. Regular inspections are the best defense against unexpected emergencies like sewer backups from root intrusion or sump pump failures during a storm.
