Chris Burner Service | Top-Rated Plumbing Service in Rensselaer, NY

Our inspection is thorough and tailored to older homes. We check for corrosion and weakness in aging pipes, test water pressure, inspect fixtures for leaks, and assess your water heater's condition. For Rensselaer homes, we pay special attention to areas prone to freezing and look for signs of past leaks that could indicate failing joints or materials, helping you prevent major water damage.

Absolutely. A key part of our inspection is identifying pipes in unheated areas like basements, crawl spaces, or exterior walls that are vulnerable to freezing. We'll point out these risks and recommend specific, practical steps—such as adding insulation or heat tape—to protect them before winter hits, which is a common concern for homeowners in our climate.

Yes, even minor leaks should be addressed promptly. In our Rensselaer weather, small drips can quickly lead to mold, wood rot, or ice dams in winter. More importantly, a small leak often signals weakening pipes that could fail catastrophically. We'll explain the severity and provide repair options to stop the problem now, saving you from more extensive and expensive damage later.
