Plumbing Service Staten Island NY | Call Steven Thomas Heating & Plumbing

Absolutely. During a professional plumbing inspection, we carefully check your kitchen drain lines for early signs of buildup, a common issue here due to grease from cooking. We can identify slow drainage and recommend proactive cleaning or solutions like installing a grease trap to prevent a full backup, saving you from a messy and expensive clog.

Before a storm, it's wise to check that your sump pump is plugged in, the outlet pipe is clear, and the pit is free of debris. The best way to ensure it's ready is with a professional inspection. We test the pump's operation, check the float switch, and verify the discharge line is properly routed away from your foundation to prevent basement flooding, a critical service for our local homes.

We recommend an annual plumbing inspection for most homes. Given our local issues like grease clogs and the importance of sump pump reliability, an annual check allows us to catch small problems early. This preventative approach is especially valuable for older Staten Island homes, helping to avoid unexpected repairs and protect your property from water damage.
