Plumbing Contractor Massapequa Park NY | Call Roberts & Son Sewer and Drain

Our plumbing inspection includes checking all outdoor faucets, also known as hose bibs, for proper insulation and function. We identify if your faucet is a frost-free model and ensure it's correctly installed and draining completely. If needed, we can install insulated covers or replace outdated fixtures. This proactive step is crucial before winter to prevent frozen pipes and bursts, which are common local issues that can cause significant water damage to your home's exterior and foundation.

Absolutely. A main or local shutoff valve that's stuck, leaking, or broken is a serious concern we often find during inspections. We will assess the valve's condition and location. In most cases, we can repair or replace the faulty valve on the spot, restoring your ability to quickly shut off water in an emergency—like a burst pipe from a frozen faucet. Having functional shutoff valves is a critical safety measure for every Massapequa Park home.

Our inspection is tailored to local needs. Beyond checking for leaks and water pressure, we specifically examine: 1) The condition and drainage of all outdoor faucets to prevent freezing, 2) The operation of every shutoff valve (main and under sinks/toilets) for emergency readiness, 3) Insulation on pipes in unheated areas like garages or crawlspaces, and 4) Signs of corrosion or wear on older pipes common in our area. This gives you a complete picture of your system's health and vulnerabilities.
