Connelly & Sons Plumbing & Heating - East Meadow's Best Plumbing Service

First, turn off the main water supply immediately to prevent a burst pipe and major water damage. Then, safely thaw the pipe with a hair dryer or space heater, starting from the faucet end and working backward. Never use an open flame. For safety and to ensure no hidden damage, call Connelly & Sons right away. Our emergency plumbers can properly assess and repair any issues, including potential pipe joint leaks that often follow a freeze-thaw cycle, common in our Long Island winters.

In many cases, yes. Our plumbers will first locate the exact source of the leak at the joint. Depending on the pipe material and the joint's condition, we can often perform a precise repair, such as re-soldering a copper joint or using a specialized epoxy sealant. However, if the joint is severely corroded—a common issue in older East Meadow homes—we may recommend a section replacement to ensure a long-term, reliable fix and prevent future leaks and water damage.

Absolutely. We highly recommend a pre-winter plumbing inspection for East Meadow homeowners. Our thorough inspection checks for insulation gaps on pipes in vulnerable areas like attics and crawl spaces, tests water pressure to identify weak joints, and assesses the condition of your water heater and main shut-off valve. This proactive service can identify small problems before they become major emergencies, like frozen or burst pipes, saving you time, money, and stress during the colder months.
