Plumbing in Union County
Plumbing work in Union County runs from a dripping faucet to a whole-house repipe. If your home still has galvanized steel supply pipes, which were common in houses built before the 1960s, low water pressure and rust-colored water are signs the pipe is corroding from the inside, and repiping is usually the lasting fix. When a water bill jumps or a stain shows up on a ceiling, leak detection with electronic and camera equipment narrows down the source before anyone opens a wall. We also repair and replace sump pumps, add a battery backup system that keeps the pit draining during a power outage until the battery runs down, and install backflow preventers, sinks, toilets, faucets and showers. Where a permit is required we file it: in Westfield with the Town of Westfield Building Department, and in Cranford with the Township of Cranford Building Department.
Heating and cooling in Union County
Whether your house heats with a forced-air furnace or with a boiler feeding radiators or baseboard, our technicians find the actual fault before recommending a part. A furnace that short-cycles or blows cold air often traces back to a clogged filter, a dirty flame sensor or a failing igniter, and those are repairs, not reasons to replace the system. On boilers we handle no-heat calls, leaks, pressure problems and noisy pipes. In summer we repair central air conditioners, and a spring tune-up, which typically includes cleaning the outdoor coil, checking refrigerant pressures and testing electrical parts, makes a midsummer breakdown less likely. When a tank water heater stops making hot water, we repair it or replace it with a gas or electric model. A leak from a valve or fitting can often be repaired, but a leak from the tank itself means the heater needs replacing.
