Putnam Plumbing & Heating | Mt Vernon NY Boiler & Frozen Pipe Experts

A thorough plumbing inspection allows our technicians to identify vulnerable pipes, especially in unheated areas like basements or crawlspaces common in local homes. We check for insufficient insulation, drafts, and potential leak points that can lead to freezing. By addressing these issues proactively, we can help prevent the costly water damage and heating interruptions that frozen pipes cause.

For older boiler systems prevalent in Mt Vernon, our inspection focuses on critical components like the heat exchanger, circulator pump, pressure relief valve, and piping for corrosion or leaks. We check for proper water pressure and listen for unusual noises that signal impending failure. This proactive check can catch minor issues before they lead to a full system breakdown during cold weather.

Absolutely. Even after thawing, frozen pipes may have sustained hairline cracks or weakened joints that aren't immediately visible. A post-thaw inspection is crucial to assess for damage, ensure all connections are secure, and recommend preventive measures like adding insulation or rerouting pipes to avoid a repeat incident, protecting your Mt Vernon home from future water damage.
