About 1 Way Heating, Cooling and Plumbing in Poughkeepsie, NY

Our standard plumbing inspection is a thorough evaluation of your home's water supply and drainage systems. We check for leaks, test water pressure, inspect fixtures and visible pipes for corrosion, assess the condition of your water heater, and ensure drains are flowing correctly. For Poughkeepsie homes, we pay special attention to areas prone to local issues, like sump pump function and outdoor faucet setups, providing you with a clear report and honest recommendations for any needed repairs or maintenance.

Frozen outdoor faucets are a common winter issue here that can lead to burst pipes. During a plumbing inspection or a specific winterization service, we ensure your outdoor faucets (also called hose bibs) are properly drained and that the interior shut-off valve is closed. We can also install frost-free hose bibs, which are designed to prevent water from staying in the exposed portion of the pipe, offering a reliable, long-term solution for our local climate.

Given the soil composition and weather patterns in the Hudson Valley, many Poughkeepsie-area basements are susceptible to groundwater. A functional sump pump is your first defense against flooding. We recommend inspecting and testing your sump pump, especially before the spring thaw or heavy rain seasons. We check the pump's operation, clean the pit and intake screen, test the float switch, and ensure the discharge line is clear and directed away from your foundation to help protect your property.
