Your plumbing system is an expensive investment and vital to your home's comfort and safety.

Yet, most homeowners ignore it and hope for the best. It sits behind walls, under floors, and in crawl spaces doing its best to keep water flowing and drains clear. It slowly degrades due to general wear and tear, sediment buildup, and seasonal stress. Plus, no one gives it any mind until there's evidence of an issue. Usually, that happens with a flooded basement, a burst pipe, or a water heater that fails on the coldest night of the year.

There is Another Way

A proactive way to keep this critical system working well. With biannual inspections of your plumbing system, you can catch components that are failing before they actually stop working and, even more importantly, before they cause cascading issues to bigger, more expensive problems. A water heater that gets flushed on schedule doesn't fail without warning. A hose bib that gets winterized doesn't burst in January. Small problems get fixed before they become disasters.

How to Feel Like a Maintenance Rock Star

Very few things make you feel more like a rock star than being proactive with your home maintenance and finding a problem before it is a huge problem AND finding out your warranty covers it. You find out how your plumbing system is doing and mitigate the risk of your family being inconvenienced by an outage. You also avoid the stress and expense of emergency repairs and early replacement because you're staying on top of things like a pro.

Or, You Can Skip Planned Maintenance & Ignore Your Plumbing

Many homeowners take the "I'll deal with it later" approach. This approach appears to be easier and cheaper. But your plumbing slowly degrades in efficiency each year. Sediment builds up in your water heater, driving up energy bills and shortening its life. Hose bibs sit unprotected through the winter, waiting to freeze and burst. Small leaks develop behind walls where you can't see them.

Finally, something fails, leaving you scrambling to find a repair company that won't take advantage of your emergency situation. And if the damage is bad enough, you're looking at water damage repairs, mold remediation, and replacements that come way before their time. Ok, we are being a bit doom and gloom... but we're also not. This happens every day.
