About R. Ulrich and Sons in Kinnelon, NJ

Our comprehensive plumbing inspection includes checking all outdoor faucets (hose bibbs) for proper winterization. We identify any vulnerabilities, such as inadequate insulation or shut-off valves that aren't fully functional, which are common causes of freezing and burst pipes in our local climate. We'll advise on the best preventative measures to protect your plumbing before the cold weather hits.

While we can certainly clear the immediate jam, a quick inspection during our service call can be very valuable. We often find that recurring jams are a symptom of other issues, like a partially clogged drain line or a misaligned component. For Kinnelon homeowners, our inspection aims to solve the root cause, preventing future clogs and protecting your disposal from damage that could lead to a more costly replacement.

Our local-focused inspection goes beyond basics. We pay special attention to areas prone to issues in our community, including checking for proper drainage away from your foundation, testing sump pumps (common in our area), inspecting water heater pressure relief valves, and examining pipes in vulnerable areas like crawl spaces for signs of freezing risk or corrosion. It's a proactive check-up for your home's entire water system.
