About Leclaire Fleming Plumbing & Heating in Rochester, NY

Absolutely. During a pre-winter plumbing inspection, our technicians check for pipes in vulnerable, uninsulated areas like crawl spaces, basements, and exterior walls—common spots for freezing in our climate. We can recommend and install insulation, identify drafts, and ensure your home's heat is properly circulating to these areas, significantly reducing the risk of a costly burst pipe.

This is a common and tricky distinction for Rochester homeowners. A professional plumbing inspection can pinpoint the source. We'll check the dishwasher's supply line valves, drain hose connection, and the household water line for leaks or corrosion. Often, a leak behind or under the unit is actually from a loose fitting in your home's plumbing, not the appliance itself. Finding the true source saves you time and money on repairs.

Our thorough inspection is designed for local needs. We check all visible pipes for signs of corrosion or damage, test water pressure, inspect fixtures for leaks, and examine water heaters. Critically for our area, we assess pipe insulation in attics and crawl spaces, check sump pumps (vital for spring thaws), and look for any vulnerabilities that could lead to the frozen pipes or slow leaks that are common here. You'll receive a detailed report of our findings.
