Empire State Plumbing Before & After Photos

Nick called Empire State Plumbing for routine maintenance on his oil-fired boiler. Nick mentioned that he typically gets it serviced every year, and other companies spend about 15 minutes on the cleaning.  A factory recommended servicing takes at least one hour to complete and includes a combustion analysis and a thorough cleaning of the heat exchanger. As you can see in the before picture, the heat exchanger is completely covered in soot. When your heat exchanger is covered in soot, your unit cannot exchange the heat well causing your unit to run inefficiently. Now Nicks' boiler is running at top efficiency and will use less oil, saving him money.

John called Empire State Plumbing because he noticed his water heater was leaking.  Upon arrival our technician noticed water leaking around the entire base of the water heater. This particular water heater is only seven years old however the unit was never flushed and upon further investigation the water was extremely acidic. This most likely caused the water heaters early demise. It is very important to flush your water heater on an annual basis and check your pH levels.  He approved our estimate on the spot, and we proceeded with the install.

Leeann contacted Empire State Plumbing due to a leak in their newly installed up flush toilet system.  After further troubleshooting, our technician discovered the leak was caused by improper installation of the discharge line. She approved our up front pricing on the spot and allowing our technician to remove the faulty piping and replace it with new piping. Additionally, a new service valve was installed to facilitate future maintenance.

Pat called us about an old hose bib that was leaking. After inspection we found the hose bib was leaking in the wall behind the kitchen cabinets.  This required some demo work to get to it and make the connection for a frost-free spigot.  After approving the price, the work was completed the same day.
