Home Plumbing Diagnosis & Checkup

Every home is different and has different needs, but a general rule of thumb is to have your home’s plumbing system checked at least once every two years. Our team at Mr. Rooter of phoenix has ample experience working with various types of homes with numerous piping materials. Understanding the age and material of your plumbing system can help you determine how often you should have your pipes professionally serviced. If you have a home that was built before the 1970s, chances are the materials used to construct the plumbing in your home are more outdated like galvanized steel, cast iron, and clay. These materials are more susceptible to corrosion and decay, which can lead to leaks, cracks, and breaks, and will need to be monitored more regularly. Properties with larger trees that have been growing for many years may also want to consider more frequent inspections due to the fact that extensive tree root systems can invade your pipes and cause significant damage over time. It can be difficult for the average homeowner to assess the health of their pipes, especially when they are underground or behind your walls, but an experienced technician will know exactly what to look for.
