FAQs
What should I do if I have low water pressure in my Philadelphia home?
Low water pressure is a common issue in our area, often caused by mineral buildup in older pipes, issues with the pressure regulator, or problems with the main service line. At Lee J Garner Contractor, we start with a thorough plumbing inspection to pinpoint the exact cause. For many homes, a targeted repair or pipe cleaning can restore proper pressure without the need for a full repipe. We'll explain the issue clearly and provide a practical, cost-effective solution tailored to your specific home.
Do you handle electrical safety inspections for older homes before I sell?
Yes, absolutely. Pre-sale electrical safety consultations and repairs are a core part of our service. Many older Philadelphia homes have outdated wiring that can be a concern for buyers and inspectors. We conduct a detailed electrical inspection, identify any code or safety issues—like faulty wiring, insufficient grounding, or outdated panels—and provide the necessary repairs or upgrades. This helps ensure a smoother sale process and gives you and the future homeowners peace of mind.
Can you install a custom light fixture I purchased?
We specialize in light fixture installation, including custom and homeowner-supplied fixtures. Our team ensures the installation is not only beautiful but also safe and up to current electrical code. We'll handle everything from properly securing the fixture and connecting the wiring to installing compatible dimmers if needed. For older homes, we often check the existing junction box to confirm it can safely support the new fixture's weight and electrical load.
