West Plumbing & Heating | Experienced Plumbing Contractor in Hampton, VA

Absolutely. Kitchen grease clogs are a common issue in Hampton homes. We start by using our drain inspection equipment to assess the severity of the blockage. For stubborn grease clogs, we often use high-pressure water jetting to thoroughly clean the pipes without harsh chemicals. To help prevent future clogs, we can advise on proper grease disposal habits and may recommend installing a grease trap if you frequently deal with heavy cooking oils.

Strange noises from a water heater, like rumbling or popping, often indicate sediment buildup, which is common in our area's water. We'll perform a thorough inspection to diagnose the issue. For minor sediment problems, a professional flush and repair might extend its life. However, if the unit is older, inefficient, or has significant corrosion, we'll explain the benefits of a new, energy-efficient installation. Our goal is to provide a cost-effective, long-term solution that ensures reliable hot water for your Hampton home.

Our comprehensive plumbing inspection uses tools like video pipe inspection cameras to visually assess the condition of your drains, sewer lines, and water supply lines. We check for leaks, corrosion, blockages, and potential code issues. It's a smart preventive measure when buying an older Hampton home, before a major remodel, or if you're experiencing recurring minor issues. The inspection gives you a clear picture of your system's health and helps us prioritize any necessary repairs or maintenance.
