Tom Smythe Plumbing | Plumbing Services in Nashville, TN 37206

Nashville's expansive clay soil shifts with moisture, which can put stress on underground pipes, leading to cracks, leaks, or misalignment. Our detailed plumbing inspection includes checking for signs of this movement—like slow drains, unusual noises, or damp spots in your yard. Catching these issues early allows us to recommend solutions, such as pipe reinforcement or re-routing, before a major leak or sewer line failure occurs.

Our inspection focuses on the kitchen drain line and grease trap (if you have one). We use specialized cameras to look for grease buildup inside your pipes, which is a common culprit for slow drains and complete blockages in Nashville homes. We'll assess the current state and provide a clear recommendation, whether it's a professional hydro-jetting to clear the line or advice on better grease disposal habits to prevent future problems.

We recommend a professional plumbing inspection at least once a year. Given our local issues with soil movement and the frequency of grease-related clogs, an annual check-up is a smart, preventative measure. It's especially important if you have an older home, have noticed any changes in your water pressure or drainage, or before buying or selling a property to avoid unexpected issues.
