Plumbing Contractor Hempstead NY | Call Greenwich St Plumbing and Heating

A comprehensive plumbing inspection by our team includes checking your sump pump's operation, power source, and discharge line. In Hempstead, where heavy rains can overwhelm drainage, we look for signs of wear, debris blockage, or improper installation that could lead to a basement flood. Catching these issues early during an inspection allows for proactive maintenance or replacement, protecting your home from costly water damage.

Many homes in Hempstead have older plumbing systems where shutoff valves can become corroded or seized from mineral deposits in the water over time. During a plumbing inspection, we test every valve for smooth operation. If a valve is broken or stuck, we can promptly replace it with a new, reliable valve. This ensures you can quickly shut off water in an emergency, preventing extensive damage from leaks.

Our Hempstead-focused inspections are detailed. For sump pumps, we check the pit for debris, test the float switch and pump cycle, and verify the discharge line is clear and directing water away from your foundation. For shutoff valves, we inspect for corrosion, test their full open/close function, and check for leaks at the stem. We also assess the overall water pressure and look for signs of past leaks that might indicate other vulnerabilities.
