About KOS Plumbing & Heating in New York, NY

A professional plumbing inspection from our team specifically checks the condition and operation of all your shutoff valves—a frequent failure point in older New York buildings. We assess for corrosion, mineral buildup, and leaks, ensuring you have functional valves to quickly isolate water in case of a burst pipe or fixture leak. This proactive check can prevent a minor issue from turning into a major flood, saving you from significant water damage and costly repairs.

In our area, heavy rains and aging infrastructure can overwhelm drainage, making a reliable sump pump essential to prevent basement flooding. Our plumbing inspections include a full test of your sump pump system. We check the pump operation, the discharge line for clogs, the float switch, and the backup power source. Identifying a faulty pump or component before a storm hits gives you time for a repair or replacement, protecting your basement from water damage and mold growth.

Our thorough inspection covers all key systems: we test water pressure, check for leaks at visible pipes and fixtures, inspect water heaters, and evaluate drainage. We pay special attention to local problem areas like shutoff valves and sump pumps. For most New York homes, we recommend an annual inspection to catch small issues early. For older properties or those with a history of plumbing problems, a bi-annual check might be advisable. Think of it as essential preventative maintenance for your property's health.
