About Petrillo Plumbing & Heating in Newark, NJ

A comprehensive plumbing inspection includes checking all appliance connections, including your washing machine's supply hoses. We look for signs of wear, cracking, or bulging that are common causes of sudden bursts. For many Newark homes with older plumbing, we can recommend and install braided stainless steel hoses, which are far more durable and can prevent the flooding and water damage a burst hose causes.

First, stop using all water fixtures immediately to prevent worsening the backup. Then, call Petrillo Plumbing right away. Our Newark-based team can respond quickly to diagnose the issue, which is often a blockage in the main sewer line due to local tree roots or accumulated debris. We use camera inspections to pinpoint the problem and offer solutions like hydro-jetting to clear the line completely and restore proper flow.

Newark's many historic and older homes often have aging pipes that are more susceptible to corrosion, leaks, and blockages. A regular professional inspection by Petrillo allows us to spot small issues—like slow drains, minor leaks, or pipe corrosion—before they escalate into major emergencies like a sewer backup or a pipe burst. This proactive maintenance saves you money on repairs and protects your home's foundation and structure from water damage.
