Reliable Plumbing Maintenance Services
Maintaining your plumbing is crucial because it helps you avoid costly emergencies and repairs. During our maintenance visit, our plumbers check for potential problems.
By addressing these issues early, we prevent them from becoming major inconveniences. For instance, if we discover a leak, we fix it before it leads to water damage or mold in your home. Additionally, this approach helps reduce water waste, keeping your monthly water bill lower.
When we arrive at your home, we start with a thorough inspection of your plumbing system. We examine your pipes, drains, and toilets. Outside, we check components like faucets and hose bibs. We also test your water pressure to ensure it’s at a healthy level.
You might notice that we perform basic drain cleaning to eliminate buildup from your fixtures. We inspect the connections to appliances like your dishwasher or washing machine and check important parts like pressure relief valves, backflow preventers, and water hammer arrestors.
You can also look for these warning signs that indicate it might be time to contact us for a maintenance plumber to take a look:
- Frequent clogs
- Strange noises
- Inconsistent water pressure
- Water heater issues
- Leaks
- Water damage
- Unpleasant odors
It’s a good idea to schedule this comprehensive maintenance service at least once a year, particularly if you live in an older home or one with a history of plumbing problems. Consider other factors when deciding on a plumbing inspection, such as whether you have hard water, which can cause mineral buildup in your pipes.
Pay attention to the types of materials in your plumbing system, too, as different materials like steel, PVC, and copper have varying life expectancies and challenges.
Mature trees nearby might seem harmless, but they can actually affect how often you need to maintain your plumbing. As the roots of older trees invade your sewer and water lines, they can cause issues. If we find this during an inspection, we recommend methods to remove the roots.
We typically use a hydro jetter, which helps you save money and prevents the hassle of replacing your sewer pipes sooner than necessary. Roots create small holes in sewer lines, leading to leaks. You can often spot a leak by noticing areas with unusually lush greenery.
