Most Munsons Corners homes were built around 1967, and 75% predate 1980 — so a lot of them still run their original supply pipe and water heaters, well past service life. We check pipe condition, water-heater age, and shut-off valves on every visit.

First check the basics: on a gas unit, see whether the pilot or burner is lit; on an electric unit, check the breaker and the reset button on the thermostat.

For a burst pipe, shut off your main water valve first, then call us — but repairs on gas water heaters, sewer lines, and pressurized supply lines are best left to a licensed plumber.

When the pipe is old galvanized steel throughout, we'll walk you through why repiping pays off long term.
