Plumbing Services in Rochester, NY

Plumbing is easy to ignore when everything works. The minute it doesn’t, it takes over your whole day. At John Betlem Heating & Cooling, we keep problems small with proactive inspections, precise repairs, and upgrades that keep Rochester homes running smoothly. From routine service to emergency calls, our team is here to protect your home and give you confidence that every pipe, fixture, and drain is working the way it should.

Whole-Home Plumbing Inspection

Small plumbing issues can quickly turn into big ones. Leaks, pressure spikes, corrosion, and hidden blockages all start small. That is why we offer full, preventative plumbing inspections.

We start where water enters your home and finish where it leaves. Along the way, we check:

• Water source and entry points: pressure tanks, switches, pumps, municipal shutoffs, and PRVs
• System performance: in-home water pressure tests to confirm proper ranges
• Distribution: visible condition of supply lines and connections
• Protection and drainage: sump pump operation and discharge routing
• Hot water: water heater condition, age markers, and safety devices
• Fixtures and drains: kitchen sinks, faucets, disposals; bathroom sinks, tubs, and showers; outdoor spigots and hose bibbs

A yearly inspection helps you avoid emergencies, extend equipment life, and protect your home from water damage.
