About Purves Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning in Rochester, NY

Hard water in Rochester leaves mineral deposits (scale) inside your pipes, which restricts water flow and can lead to clogs and pressure issues. Our thorough plumbing inspection includes a detailed assessment of your pipes for this buildup. We can identify problem areas early, often before you notice a significant drop in performance, and recommend solutions like water softeners or targeted descaling to prevent damage and extend the life of your plumbing system.

Sediment from minerals in our local water supply settles at the bottom of your water heater tank. This layer acts as an insulator, forcing the unit to work harder and use more energy to heat your water, leading to higher bills and potential overheating that can damage the tank. A key part of our inspection is flushing and checking the water heater for this sediment. Catching it early improves efficiency, extends the appliance's lifespan, and ensures you have reliable hot water.

Our inspection is a proactive, neighborly check-up for your home's entire plumbing system. We'll examine visible pipes for signs of corrosion or scale, test water pressure, inspect fixtures and drains, and assess your water heater's condition and age. For Rochester-specific issues, we pay special attention to signs of hard water damage and sediment buildup. You'll receive a clear, written report of our findings with honest, expert advice on any recommended maintenance or repairs, with no pressure—just the facts to help you make informed decisions.
