About Bobby Z's Plumbing and Heating in Philadelphia, PA

Slow bathroom drains here are often due to hard water scale and soap scum buildup, common in our area. We start with a thorough inspection using a camera to assess the blockage. For routine buildup, we perform a high-pressure drain jetting to clear the pipes completely. If hard water has caused significant scaling inside the pipes, we can discuss repair or replacement options to restore proper flow and prevent future clogs.

Yes, we provide comprehensive service for both systems. For plumbing, we handle everything from new fixture installations to full repipes. For heating, we specialize in the installation and replacement of boilers, hot air furnaces, and complete HVAC systems. This dual expertise means we can efficiently manage projects that involve both trades, ensuring your home's water and climate control systems work together reliably.

Our inspection is a detailed health check for your entire plumbing system. We examine water pressure, look for leaks, test drains, inspect visible pipes for corrosion (common with hard water), and check fixtures and water heaters. For older homes, we pay special attention to sewer lines, curb traps, and galvanized pipes that may be nearing the end of their lifespan. The goal is to identify potential problems—like slow drains from buildup or failing pipes—before they become emergencies.
