About Leone Plumbing & Heating in Bloomfield, NJ

A thorough plumbing inspection by Leone focuses on the common causes of basement flooding in our area. We check for issues like poor drainage around your foundation, sump pump functionality, and signs of pipe blockage or failure. By identifying these risks early, we can recommend preventative repairs, such as installing or servicing a sump pump, to protect your basement before the next heavy rain.

During an inspection, our Bloomfield technicians look for specific red flags of pipe corrosion, such as discolored water, low water pressure, frequent leaks, and visible rust or green patina on exposed pipes. We pay close attention to older homes where galvanized steel pipes were common. Identifying corrosion early allows us to plan a replacement before a major burst occurs, saving you from extensive water damage and repair costs.

For most Bloomfield homes, especially older properties, we recommend a professional plumbing inspection every 1-2 years. This regular check-up is crucial for managing issues like soil shifting that can affect pipes and the wear-and-tear that leads to corrosion. Annual inspections are highly advised if you have a history of basement moisture or an older plumbing system, helping us catch small problems before they turn into emergencies.
