The number one way to avoid most plumbing emergencies is to get your plumbing system checked routinely for common issues. Our plumbers can perform routine maintenance on your entire plumbing system and catch small problems that snowball into larger issues later. For example, a plumber might detect that you have too much sediment in your water heater and recommend a flush. Without catching this issue, the sediment in your water heater could continue to grow, eventually affecting the entire unit’s functioning.
We recommend the following schedule for maintenance:
- Small households (1-2 people) – once a year
- Large households (3+ people) – twice a year
- Businesses – four times a year
Additionally, precautions such as routine drain cleaning or using hair catchers in your showers and sinks can help prevent severe clogs before they start.
