Edward J Murphy Plumbing & Heating | Best Plumbing Contractor in Massapequa Park, NY

A professional plumbing inspection allows us to check the condition of your washing machine hoses, which are a common failure point. We look for signs of wear, bulging, or brittleness that often precede a burst. For local homeowners, replacing an old rubber hose with a reinforced stainless steel braided hose during an inspection is a simple, cost-effective step that can prevent a major flood and water damage to your laundry area.

During a fall inspection, our technicians specifically assess your outdoor faucets (hose bibs) for proper winterization. We ensure the interior shut-off valve is working and that the bib is properly drained to prevent residual water from freezing and cracking the pipe inside your wall. This is a critical service for Massapequa Park homes before the first hard freeze to avoid costly leaks and repairs come spring.

Beyond specific concerns like an old washing machine or preparing for winter, general signs include a noticeable drop in water pressure, unexplained increases in your water bill, or the sound of running water when all fixtures are off. For our community, scheduling a routine inspection can catch these subtle issues early, whether they're related to pipe corrosion, hidden leaks, or faulty valves, saving you from more disruptive problems down the line.
