Winters in New York City can be brutal, especially on your fire sprinkler system. Fire sprinklers are always ready to work since there is water already waiting in the pipe. But, if the pipes that lead to a sprinkler system freeze, it will prevent it from effectively putting out a harmful and dangerous fire. The only way to ensure a sprinkler system will work in case of an emergency is to keep it from freezing in frigid temperatures.
Sewer repair is needed when your sewer is either backed up or starts leaking. This is a complicated problem that requires a qualified technician to evaluate and repair because a section of the sewer pipe might have to be replaced, depending on its condition. To determine if you need to replace a pipe, or even just a section, our team at Go Pro Plumbing & Heating would perform a video inspection to assess the condition of your sewer.

Steam leaks are harmful to your health and your wallet. When installed incorrectly, a heating system can have gaps in the piping, which causes steam to leak out, making a whistling noise.
Whenever we see that the water is not going down the drain and it is clogged, many of us reach for the liquid drain cleaner to fix the problem but that might actually do more harm than good. Even a plunger will help more than a drain cleaner most of the time!
