Sewer Cleaning: Restore Full Flow Fast

A clogged or slow sewer line can create major headaches for homeowners. Backups, gurgling toilets, foul odors, or slow drains are all signs of a deeper issue in your sewer system. Over time, grease, debris, tree roots, and other obstructions can build up and block wastewater flow.

Professional sewer cleaning helps keep your plumbing system flowing freely. At Putman & Son’s Plumbing, we use advanced hydro jetting and video inspection technology to accurately identify and clear clogs, ensuring your pipes stay in top shape.

Regular maintenance is key to avoiding messy emergencies. Don’t wait until sewage backs up into your home—schedule a sewer line inspection today. Call (248) 652-0990 or visit www.pnsplumbing.com to book your cleaning service and keep things running smoothly.

Garbage Disposals: Efficiency Starts in the Kitchen

A properly functioning garbage disposal is essential for a clean and efficient kitchen. Whether you’re preparing dinner or cleaning up after guests, your disposal helps manage food waste, prevent drain clogs, and reduce odors.

However, frequent use without proper care can lead to blockages, foul smells, or even motor burnout. Watch out for signs like slow drainage, grinding noises, or a unit that won’t turn on. Simple habits—like running cold water during use and avoiding fibrous foods, grease, or bones—can extend the life of your unit.

If your disposal is outdated or malfunctioning, Putman & Son’s Plumbing offers professional installation and repair services. We’ll help you select the right model and ensure a flawless setup. Let’s get your kitchen running smoothly again—call (248) 652-0990 or visit www.pnsplumbing.com to book your appointment.

Backflow Prevention: Safeguard Your Water Supply

Backflow can pose serious risks to your home’s water supply, especially when there are sudden changes in water pressure. This reversal of water flow can allow contaminants like fertilizers, pesticides, or sewage to enter your clean water lines. Fortunately, backflow prevention devices are designed to keep this from happening.

These devices work by allowing water to flow in one direction only into your home, not back out into the main water supply. They are especially important in homes with irrigation systems, swimming pools, or boilers, where contamination risks are higher. Regular testing and maintenance of your backflow preventer are key to ensuring it’s working properly and complies with local safety codes.

At Putman & Son’s Plumbing, our certified technicians install, inspect, and maintain backflow prevention systems with expert care. Don’t leave your home’s water quality to chance—schedule your backflow inspection today by calling (248) 652-0990 or visiting www.pnsplumbing.com.

Sump Pump Maintenance: Your First Line of Defense Against Flooding

Spring rains can quickly overwhelm a basement if your sump pump isn’t ready. This essential device pumps water out of your basement or crawlspace, keeping your home dry and protected against water damage. A working sump pump can save thousands in flood repairs and mold remediation.

To keep your sump pump running efficiently, it’s crucial to perform seasonal maintenance. Clean out debris, check for mechanical issues, and test the pump by pouring water into the pit. If it doesn’t start up immediately, it may be time for repairs or replacement.

Warning signs of sump pump failure include strange noises, frequent cycling, or failure to turn on at all. Installing a backup battery system is also a smart idea in case of power outages during storms.

At Putman & Son’s Plumbing, we offer expert sump pump services, including installation, maintenance, and emergency repairs. Our team ensures your system is ready before heavy spring showers arrive, so you can rest easy knowing your basement is protected.
