About Bison Plumbing City in Buffalo, NY

Absolutely. Our Buffalo plumbing inspection includes a check of all your home's exterior faucets (hose bibbs) for proper insulation and shut-off valve function. We identify faucets that are at high risk for freezing and can recommend solutions like installing frost-free hose bibbs or insulating covers, which are essential for our Western New York winters to prevent burst pipes and water damage.

In Buffalo's climate with heavy snowmelt and rain, a working sump pump is vital to prevent basement flooding. Our inspection tests your pump's operation, checks the discharge line for clogs or freezing points, and verifies the backup power system. Catching a faulty pump or switch during an inspection allows us to repair or replace it before the next big storm, safeguarding your basement.

Our inspections are tailored for Buffalo homes. We specifically examine areas prone to our local issues: checking for proper drainage away from your foundation, ensuring all pipes in vulnerable areas like crawl spaces are insulated, testing sump pumps thoroughly, and evaluating outdoor faucets and irrigation systems for winterization needs. It's a proactive check-up designed for our climate.
