Spring plumbing check-up in Yonkers, NY
Winter is over — let's make sure it didn't leave hidden damage behind.
Westchester winters are hard on plumbing. A spigot that froze in February may not reveal a split until you turn on the hose in April. A sump pump that sat idle all winter might not start when the first heavy spring rain arrives. A spring plumbing check-up focuses on these seasonal risks so you head into the wet season with confidence.

Spring rain and hillside yards
Yonkers' steep terrain sends spring runoff downhill quickly, and homes near the bottom of slopes — around Ludlow, the Saw Mill River valley, and parts of southwest Yonkers — can see rising groundwater pressure against basement walls. A working sump pump and clear discharge path matter a great deal in April and May, when snowmelt and rain combine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why check outdoor faucets in spring?+
If water was left in the line over winter it can freeze and split inside the wall. The leak appears only when you use the spigot.
How do I know if my sump pump works?+
We pour water into the pit to trigger the pump and confirm it discharges properly away from the house.
Should I have my water heater flushed in spring?+
Flushing can be done any time. We check the heater and recommend it if sediment is present.
Is a spring check-up necessary every year?+
It is especially helpful if your home has had freeze issues or basement water in the past.
