A professional plumbing inspection allows us to proactively assess the condition of your pipes. In older New York homes, corrosion is a major risk that can lead to leaks, low water pressure, and water damage. During an inspection, we use specialized tools to check for signs of corrosion, mineral buildup, and weak spots. Identifying these issues early means we can recommend targeted repairs or replacements, such as pipe relining, to prevent sudden failures and much more expensive emergency repairs down the line.

Absolutely. Broken or stuck main shutoff valves are extremely common in New York City's older properties. A failing valve is a serious safety hazard, as it prevents you from quickly stopping the water flow during a leak. A key part of our standard plumbing inspection is testing every shutoff valve for proper operation. If we find a valve is seized, leaking, or non-functional, we can replace it with a new, reliable valve, giving you peace of mind and control over your home's plumbing system in case of an emergency.

For New York homes, a comprehensive inspection must go beyond a simple visual check. Our expert inspection includes: pressure testing to find hidden leaks, a video camera drain line scan to check for root intrusion or cracks, checking all fixtures and supply lines for corrosion, verifying water heater safety and efficiency, and, crucially, testing all interior and exterior shutoff valves. This detailed approach is tailored to uncover the specific risks—like galvanized pipe corrosion and valve failures—that are prevalent in our local infrastructure, providing a complete picture of your system's health.
