How often should I schedule plumbing maintenance?
For most residential properties, we recommend a comprehensive plumbing inspection and maintenance service annually. However, older homes (30+ years) may benefit from bi-annual checks, while newer properties with modern plumbing may require less frequent attention. Rental properties typically benefit from inspections between tenancies and at least annual maintenance to prevent issues that could affect tenant satisfaction.
What's included in a standard maintenance check?
Our standard maintenance service includes inspection of all visible plumbing fixtures, checking water pressure, examining accessible pipes for signs of leaks or corrosion, testing drains for proper flow, inspecting hot water systems, checking toilet mechanisms, and testing tap function. We also look for signs of water damage that might indicate hidden issues. Following the inspection, we provide a detailed report of findings and recommendations.
Is maintenance worth the cost compared to just fixing issues as they arise?
Preventative maintenance is almost always more cost-effective than reactive repairs. A small leak identified during maintenance might cost minimal amounts to fix, while the same leak left undetected could cause thousands of dollars in water damage. Additionally, regular maintenance extends the lifespan of fixtures and appliances, improves water efficiency, and allows you to budget for necessary replacements rather than facing unexpected emergency expenses.
