RKO Contractors: Trusted Plumber Serving Oakland, NJ 07436

Our plumbing inspection includes checking your outdoor faucets (hose bibbs) for proper shut-off valves and insulation. Many Oakland homes have older fixtures that are more susceptible to freezing. We identify if you have a frost-free faucet installed correctly or if you need a winterization kit. By addressing this proactively, we help you avoid the burst pipes and water damage that often follow a hard freeze in our area.

Frequent jams are often a sign of a deeper issue, like a dull blade, a misaligned impeller, or a problem with the motor. During our inspection, we don't just clear the current jam; we examine the disposal unit's condition, check for proper installation, and test the electrical components. For Oakland homeowners, this can reveal if you have an underpowered unit for your household needs or if there's a chronic clog in the drain line causing backups.

We conduct a thorough, room-by-room check tailored to common local issues. This includes testing water pressure, looking for leak signs under sinks and around toilets, inspecting your water heater's age and condition, and ensuring all drains flow quickly. Crucially for our climate, we examine pipe insulation in basements and crawl spaces and assess the condition of all exterior faucets to build a complete picture of your home's plumbing health.
