John Kuhn Plumbing Heating & Cooling provides residential and commercial plumbing repair and installation across Irondequoit and Monroe County, available every day from 6:00 AM to 10:30 PM, with same-day service often available. We handle everything from a dripping faucet to a burst pipe, and we work with homeowners, landlords, and commercial property managers alike. With a local shop, your questions go straight to the people doing the work.
Every home's plumbing tells a different story, and the range of work we handle reflects that. We cover the full scope of residential and commercial plumbing: drain cleaning and clog removal, leak detection and repair, water heater service, toilet and faucet and fixture installation, sewer and main line work, repiping, and emergency calls.
Work is carried out by licensed plumbers who know the pipe materials, water conditions, and housing types common to this part of Monroe County. Whether the job is a straightforward fixture swap or a more involved main line repair, it gets handled with plumbing done to the standard the next inspection expects. We work across property types, from single-family homes and rental units to restaurants, office buildings, and multi-unit residential properties.
Dealing with a slow drain or a sudden burst pipe? Drain problems are among the most common calls we get, and the fix depends on where the blockage is and what caused it. We clear sink, tub, shower, and floor drains, address main line backups, and use hydro jetting for stubborn grease, mineral, or soap buildup that a standard snake will not reach.
Irondequoit's older residential housing stock means tree-root intrusion into sewer and drain lines is a real and recurring issue. Roots find their way into clay and cast iron joints over time, and a rooter service call is often what it takes to get the line flowing again. When we come out, we scope the problem first, clear the line, and confirm the flow is restored before we leave. We'll find the leak and fix it right.
Choosing the right plumbing fix is easier than it sounds, especially once the source of the leak is confirmed. We locate water leaks in supply lines, walls, and under slabs, and we repair or replace the affected pipe, whether that means a simple joint repair or a section of line. For burst pipe situations, which are a genuine concern during upstate New York winters, we respond to get the water shut down and the line repaired as quickly as scheduling allows.
Older homes in Irondequoit often carry galvanized or copper supply lines that develop pinhole leaks or joint failures as they age. We assess the full picture before any work begins, and the job scoped and priced before a wrench comes out means you know what you are agreeing to. Call and we'll get the water running right.
If you're not sure your water pressure is where it should be, or you have turned on the tap and the hot water is not there, a water heater call is often the next step. We diagnose tank and tankless units, identify whether the problem is a failed element, a thermostat issue, sediment buildup, or a unit that has simply reached the end of its service life, and we give you a clear answer before any work begins.
For replacements, we size the unit to the household or property, handle the installation, and confirm the system is working before we leave. Tank and tankless options are both on the table, and the right choice depends on the property's hot water demand and the existing setup. We'll take care of the pipes from here.
Irondequoit's housing stock skews older, and that shapes what comes up most often on a service call. Galvanized steel supply lines, cast iron drain stacks, and clay sewer laterals are all common in homes built before the 1970s. Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside out over time, which gradually reduces water pressure and eventually causes pinhole leaks. Cast iron drain lines develop rust scale and joint failures. Clay sewer laterals crack and allow root intrusion.
Monroe County's water also carries mineral content that contributes to scale buildup inside water heaters and on fixture aerators and valve seats. Knowing what materials are likely in a given home, and what the local water does to them, changes how a diagnosis goes. A licensed plumber who has worked these streets knows which problems to look for before the inspection is even complete.
Getting your water flowing again is easier than you think once the right diagnosis is in hand. Sewer line problems often start gradually, with slow drains or occasional backups, before they become a full blockage or a line failure. We handle sewer line cleaning, repair, and replacement on the line that runs from the house to the city connection, which is the plumbing side of the equation.
Monroe County's older housing stock, particularly in Irondequoit, includes a significant number of homes with cast iron or clay sewer laterals that are well past their intended service life. When cleaning is no longer enough, repair or replacement is the next step. For homes with widespread pipe deterioration throughout the supply system, whole-house repiping is the more practical long-term solution. We protect your floors and finishes while we work, and we walk you through what the job involves before anything is opened up.
Commercial plumbing follows the same process as residential work: scope the job, price it clearly, and get it done. We handle commercial drain cleaning, water heater installation, office and restroom plumbing repair, restaurant plumbing service, and ongoing plumbing maintenance for rental properties and multi-unit buildings.
Property managers appreciate knowing that the same process applies regardless of the property type: a call comes in, the job is assessed, the work is priced, and it gets scheduled. We are available every day from 6:00 AM to 10:30 PM, which makes it practical to schedule around business hours or tenant needs without disrupting operations.
The calls that make up most of a plumber's week are not emergencies. They are toilets that run constantly or will not flush cleanly, faucets that drip, showerheads that have lost pressure, and garbage disposals that have stopped working. We handle all of it: toilet repair and replacement, faucet repair and installation, shower and bathtub fixture work, garbage disposal repair and installation, water pressure diagnostics, and shutoff valve replacement.
These are the jobs that keep a home or building running day to day. A toilet that keeps running is wasting water. A shutoff valve that will not close fully is a liability the next time a pipe fails. Addressing them promptly is straightforward, and the work is priced clearly before it starts.
When you call, you get a rate before anything is scheduled. The scope of the job is confirmed on the call, and the price is explained up front so there is nothing to work out later. For common jobs, drain cleaning, water heater replacement, sewer line repair, or repiping, we explain what the work involves and what the price covers so you can make a clear decision.
The same number you call to book the job is the number you call if you have questions afterward. There is no separate billing line and no waiting for a callback from a different department.
Fast turnaround. Fair pricing. Dry results.
A burst pipe in January, no hot water on a Monday morning, a backed-up main line with a house full of people: these are not calls that can wait. Emergency calls are answered during business hours, every day from 6:00 AM to 10:30 PM, and same-day appointments are often available for urgent situations.
We handle burst pipe response, major leak repair, no-hot-water calls, and main line backups as priority scheduling allows. If you call early in the day, same-day service is frequently an option. Pipe insulation and winterization work, frost-free hose bib installation, and sump pump service are also available for homeowners who want to get ahead of the problems that upstate New York winters reliably create.
We pick up the phone. We book the visit. We test before we leave.
Knowing what pipe materials and water conditions are common in this part of Monroe County changes how a diagnosis goes. Homes built before the 1970s in Irondequoit often have galvanized supply lines, cast iron drain stacks, and clay sewer laterals, each with its own failure pattern. A licensed plumber who has worked these streets knows which problems to look for before the inspection is even complete.
Work is carried out by licensed plumbers who handle jobs across Irondequoit and the surrounding Monroe County area. They are familiar with the housing types, pipe materials, and water conditions common to this region, which shapes how they approach both diagnosis and repair. You get a real conversation about the job from the people doing the work.
When you call, we discuss the scope of the job and give you a price before anything is scheduled. The job is scoped and priced before a wrench comes out, so you know what you are agreeing to before the visit begins. If something unexpected comes up once we are on site, we explain it and get your approval before any additional work proceeds.
Call us at (585) 822-8289 and describe what you are seeing. We take callbacks seriously and will work to get back out and assess the situation promptly. Every job is completed to the standard the next inspection expects, and if something does not meet that standard, we address it.
We protect your floors and finishes while we work, which means laying down covering where needed and containing the work area to avoid spreading water or debris. Cleanup is part of the job, not an afterthought. We leave the work area in good condition before we consider the visit complete.
When you call to schedule, we confirm the appointment window at that time. You get a clear sense of when to expect us before the visit is booked. If anything changes on the day of the appointment, we communicate that directly rather than leaving you waiting without an update.
