Emergency Plumbing Contractor in West Hempstead, NY 11552 - Abner Plumbing & Heating

A comprehensive plumbing inspection from Abner Plumbing & Heating proactively assesses your home's aging pipes, fixtures, and connections. We identify corrosion, minor leaks, and wear in areas you can't easily see, like behind walls or under foundations. Addressing these small issues early prevents catastrophic leaks, protects your property from water damage, and can save you significant money on your water bill and future repairs.

Our seasonal pre-winter inspection focuses on safeguarding your home against freezing temperatures. We test and drain all outdoor faucets (hose bibs), inspect for proper insulation on exposed pipes in garages or crawl spaces, and ensure your main shut-off valve is in perfect working order. This service is crucial in West Hempstead to prevent the pipes from freezing and bursting, which can lead to costly interior flooding when they thaw.

First, safely turn off the water supply to that faucet using its individual shut-off valve inside your home, if one exists. Do not attempt to thaw it with an open flame or excessive heat, as this can damage pipes. Gently applying warm air from a hairdryer can sometimes help, but the safest course is to call us at Abner Plumbing & Heating. We can assess for cracks or bursts that may not be visible until the ice melts and make the necessary repairs to prevent water damage.
