About Alex Plumbing in New York, NY

A professional plumbing inspection by Alex Plumbing uses specialized cameras to assess the condition of your kitchen drain lines. We can identify the early buildup of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) that are common in NYC cooking. By catching this buildup early, we can perform targeted hydro-jetting to clear it before it causes a complete blockage, preventing messy backups and potential damage to your unit or neighbors' below.

Our inspections are designed for NYC's aging plumbing. We meticulously check old galvanized steel or cast iron pipes for signs of corrosion, pinhole leaks, and reduced water flow due to mineral buildup. We also inspect pipe connections and look for hidden moisture that could indicate a slow leak behind walls or under floors, which are common sources of water damage and mold in older buildings.

In a competitive NYC real estate market, hidden plumbing issues in older properties are a major risk. Our comprehensive pre-purchase inspection provides a clear, expert assessment of the entire system's health. We'll identify any existing problems like faulty pipes or outdated materials, and forecast potential near-future repairs. This knowledge empowers you to make an informed buying decision, negotiate confidently, and avoid unexpected, costly plumbing emergencies after you move in.
