Dennis M O'Grady Plumbing & Heating | Qualified Plumber in Union, NJ

Absolutely. During a plumbing inspection, we specifically check your sump pump's operation, power source, discharge line, and pit for debris—common failure points in our area. Catching issues like a stuck float switch or a clogged line early can prevent a basement flood, especially during heavy New Jersey rains, saving you from significant water damage and repair costs.

First, immediately shut off the water supply to the washing machine, usually via valves on the wall behind it. Then, call us. Burst laundry hoses are a frequent issue in Union homes due to age and water pressure fluctuations. We'll respond quickly to stop the leak, assess the damage, and replace the hoses with durable, burst-resistant models to prevent future incidents.

Our local inspection is thorough and tailored to common issues here. We check all visible pipes for leaks or corrosion, test water pressure, inspect water heaters for safety and efficiency, examine sump pumps and drains, and assess fixture operation. We pay special attention to supply lines for appliances like washing machines, as old hoses are a leading cause of water damage in our community.
