Questions and Answers
My sump pump in Rochester failed during a heavy rain. Can you help, and how quickly?
Absolutely. A failed sump pump is an urgent issue in our area. Mr. Balkums offers emergency sump pump repair and replacement to prevent basement flooding. We prioritize these calls and will dispatch a technician promptly to diagnose the problem—whether it's a faulty float switch, a clogged discharge line, or a burnt-out motor—and get your system working to protect your home.
I have an old, leaking shutoff valve under my sink. Is this a simple repair?
While it may seem simple, broken or corroded shutoff valves are a frequent problem in older Rochester homes. Our plumbers handle valve repairs and replacements daily. We'll assess the valve and surrounding pipes, often recommending a full replacement with a new, reliable quarter-turn valve to ensure you have a proper working shutoff and prevent future leaks or water damage.
After a plumbing leak is fixed, do you offer cleaning services to help with the mess?
Yes, we provide a complete solution. Once our plumbing team has repaired the leak, valve, or sump pump, our professional cleaning crew can perform a deep clean. We'll address water stains, sanitize affected areas, and help restore your home to its pre-damage condition, making the recovery process seamless for you.
