Common Questions
How can a plumbing inspection by Andy Handy help with low water pressure in my NYC apartment?
Low pressure in New York can stem from several issues common in our buildings, like pipe scale buildup, faulty pressure regulators, or even problems with the building's main supply. Our plumbing inspection methodically checks your system's flow, inspects pipes for obstructions, and tests pressure at various points. We identify the specific cause—whether it's on your property or a building-wide issue—and provide a clear report and solution, so you know exactly what needs to be fixed to restore proper water pressure.
Why is checking the shutoff valve part of your standard plumbing inspection?
In a dense city like New York, a malfunctioning main shutoff valve can turn a minor leak into a major emergency, risking water damage to your unit and neighbors below. During our inspection, we test the valve's operation to ensure it turns on and off completely and smoothly. We check for corrosion, leaks, or stiffness—common issues with older valves. This proactive check gives you peace of mind, knowing you can quickly stop the water flow if a pipe bursts or a fixture fails.
