Whether it’s just a small leak coming from your faucet, or a toilet that won’t flush, nothing can get our lives off track faster than a plumbing issue. So when you want to avoid or minimize the damage and headache that can come from a preventable plumbing disaster, give our team a call!
What Is Plumbing Maintenance?
We know that there is no way to possibly prevent every single plumbing mishap, but we also know that regular maintenance of your plumbing system can drastically decrease the likelihood of those larger plumbing disasters. Plumbing maintenance is simply a regular check-up of your plumbing system with the goal of catching smaller repair needs long before they turn into dire repair needs. This means, at a regularly scheduled time, one of our plumbing professionals will inspect your home’s plumbing systems for signs of repair needs. From faucets and fixtures to appliances and water lines, your home will get a thorough inspection. If any signs of damage are found, they will either be taken care of immediately, or a time for a full repair will be scheduled at your earliest convenience.
Why Is Plumbing Maintenance A Good Investment?
Plumbing maintenance is a crucial part of your plumbing system. A plumbing maintenance plan has a wide variety of benefits that make it an integral part of maintaining your home at large. Regular upkeep of your plumbing system can save you time, money, and stress in the long run. Here are just a few of the many reasons we recommend always having a plumbing maintenance plan:
Prevent Costly Repairs
While something like a small water line leak or minor toilet clog might not be something that feels enormous, it will once that small leak turns into a burst pipe and the minor clog becomes a full blockage! The goal of plumbing maintenance is to find small issues that can be taken care of in a way that is quick, easy, and less expensive. If those small issues are left without remedy, they are very likely to turn into much larger issues in the near future. And when that happens, there is no guarantee that those repairs will be quick, easy, and less expensive. Save time and money with regular plumbing maintenance.
Increase The Longevity Of Your Plumbing System
Proactively taking care of your plumbing system means that you likely won’t have as many significant issues. This can reduce the overall strain on your plumbing system, allowing it to function much longer than if it is constantly battling various setbacks. Don’t let your plumbing system break down faster than it should. Keep it healthy and functioning for as long as possible with regular plumbing maintenance.
Improve Efficiency & Reduce Bills
When your plumbing system is operating at its peak, then your water and electric bills should stay relatively consistent. However, as your plumbing system begins to break down, you will likely begin to notice an increase in your water bill—especially if that damage has resulted in a water leak. Beyond that, if something like your water heater has started to show signs of damage, your electric bill could also be impacted. Keeping your plumbing system well-maintained means you will likely improve the efficiency of the system and, in doing so, lower your water or electricity bills.
Peace of Mind
I’m sure we’ve all had those errant thoughts of wondering whether or not there actually is a giant leak under the house that we just aren’t aware of yet. Worries can swirl as a homeowner who feels the weight of responsibility for keeping the home in working condition and yet not being able to fully know that everything is functioning correctly. Luckily, a plumbing maintenance plan can help stop those worries in their tracks! As often as you prefer, you can have a professional plumber come out and ensure that all of your plumbing systems are in good shape, giving you peace of mind to enjoy your home fully.
What Does A Plumbing Maintenance Schedule Look Like?
There are many different levels of plumbing maintenance. At the base level, the homeowner should be regularly maintaining visible plumbing systems as much as possible. This means operating plumbing appliances as they are supposed to be used, making sure nothing aside from toilet paper is flushed, and keeping all faucets and fixtures cleaned to ensure they aren’t deteriorating faster than needed. This regular upkeep can help prevent the need for larger repairs down the line. Similarly, you should be monitoring your water and electric bills. If you notice an unexpected spike in either bill, you might want to call out for an inspection to see if something is wrong. Regardless, you should always be keeping an eye out for signs of plumbing damage and repair needs. Finally, at least annually, you should have a regularly scheduled plumbing maintenance appointment. While more often might make more sense for your home, at least once a year ensures that all major plumbing damage can be found and taken care of—hopefully before it becomes too big of an issue. Again, there are many layers to plumbing maintenance, many of which you can be intimately involved in!
