About Plumbing Today in Schenectady, NY

Our thorough plumbing inspection focuses on the common weak points in aging Schenectady infrastructure. We check for corrosion in pipes, test water pressure to spot stress points, and examine seals and connections for early signs of failure. Identifying these issues proactively allows us to make targeted repairs before a small leak becomes a major problem, saving you from potential water damage and high repair bills.

First, always ensure the disposal is off and unplugged. You can often clear a jam by manually turning the motor from underneath using a hex key. Check for visible obstructions like bones or fruit pits. Avoid putting fibrous vegetables, grease, or coffee grounds down the disposal. If it's still jammed or making unusual noises, it's best to call us. Forcing it can damage the motor or blades, leading to a more costly repair.

Our standard inspection is a comprehensive health check for your entire plumbing system. We examine all visible pipes for leaks or corrosion, test faucets and fixtures for proper operation and flow, inspect the water heater for safety and efficiency, check drains for speed and potential blockages, and assess toilets for leaks and flush performance. We provide a detailed report with photos and recommendations, prioritizing any issues we find.
