About Thomas J Kohler & Sons Plumbing, Heating & Electric in Bayville, NJ

Our thorough plumbing inspection includes a detailed check of all appliance connections, including your washing machine hoses. We look for signs of wear, bulging, or brittleness that are common causes of sudden bursts. For Bayville residents, we often recommend upgrading to braided stainless steel hoses, which are far more resistant to the pressure fluctuations common in our area, providing a simple, cost-effective upgrade to prevent major water damage.

If you suspect frozen pipes, first turn off the main water supply and call us immediately. To prevent this common Bayville winter issue, our pre-winter plumbing inspection focuses on identifying pipes in vulnerable, uninsulated areas like crawl spaces, garages, and exterior walls. We provide expert recommendations and services for proper insulation and may suggest letting a faucet drip during extreme cold snaps—a simple, proactive step to keep water moving and pipes from freezing.

Water and electricity are a dangerous mix. A comprehensive electrical inspection from Kohler & Sons ensures that outlets near potential water sources (like your laundry area, under sinks, or in the basement) are protected by Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs). If a pipe or hose were to burst, these safety devices will immediately cut power, significantly reducing the risk of electrical shock or fire, adding a critical layer of protection for your Bayville home.
