About Abele Plumbing in Rochester, NY

A professional plumbing inspection allows us to check the condition of your main sewer line for early signs of blockage, root intrusion, or damage—common causes of backups in our area. By identifying these issues proactively, we can perform targeted cleaning or repairs before you experience a messy and disruptive backup in your basement or yard, saving you significant stress and expense.

Absolutely. During a standard plumbing inspection, we test all accessible shutoff valves, including the main water shutoff and fixture valves. We check for corrosion, stiffness, and leaks. If we find a valve that's failing or about to seize, we can recommend a timely replacement. This simple step can prevent a minor issue from turning into a major emergency where you can't stop the water flow during a pipe burst or leak.

Our Rochester-focused inspections go beyond the basics. We pay special attention to local concerns: we check for pipe corrosion common in our water conditions, inspect sump pumps and drains due to our weather, evaluate water heater efficiency, and assess sewer line health. We also look for improper winterization issues and ensure all fixtures and valves are in good working order to give you a complete picture of your home's plumbing health.
