About Jake Reddo Plumbing and Heating in Smithtown, NY

A professional plumbing inspection by Jake Reddo focuses on the common causes of basement flooding in our area. We check your main sewer line for cracks or root intrusion, test your sump pump's operation, and inspect basement plumbing joints and water heater connections for early signs of failure. Catching these issues early is key to preventing a major flood, especially with our local aging infrastructure.

In Smithtown's older homes, we pay special attention to aging galvanized steel or cast iron pipes that are prone to corrosion and leaks. We check water pressure for signs of internal blockage, look for discoloration or moisture around pipe fittings, and assess the condition of shut-off valves. Our inspection aims to find slow leaks you might not notice, which can lead to mold or structural damage over time.

Absolutely. After a basement flood, a comprehensive inspection is crucial. We need to determine if the cause was a one-time event or a recurring plumbing failure, like a cracked foundation pipe or a faulty backwater valve. We'll assess all related systems to ensure repairs are complete and help you implement solutions, such as sump pump upgrades or pipe lining, to prevent it from happening again.
