Most people don’t think about their home’s plumbing systems until something goes wrong. However, much like any system that receives frequent, ongoing use, your home’s plumbing systems need regular maintenance to ensure that they’re working properly and at optimal efficiency.

Benefits of Regular Plumbing Maintenance

There are many reasons to schedule routine plumbing maintenance services. A routine inspection can allow our plumbers to make sure everything is working as it should and that there are no issues. If we do find any minor problems, we can make the necessary repairs before a serious emergency occurs.

Regular plumbing maintenance has many benefits, including improved energy efficiency, lowered water and utility bills, more consistent water pressure, reduced mold and mildew in the home, longer-lasting and better-performing plumbing systems, and prolonged lifespan for fixtures like water heaters and toilets. It also allows for early leak detection and ensures fewer drain clogs and other problems.

Plumbing leaks not only affect your pipes and water pressure, but they can also cause damage to your home. A leak that goes undetected under a sink or in a wall can lead to wood rot, mold growth and pipe corrosion. Repairing the long-term damage caused by a small leak is costly and an even bigger headache for you due to the inconvenience it may cause.

Generally speaking, routine plumbing maintenance can save you a ton of time, money, and hassle. At Simply Green Plumbing, Sewer & Rooter, we recommend that you schedule a comprehensive plumbing inspection and maintenance service at least once annually; however, the precise number of inspections you should have each year will depend on the age and condition of your unique plumbing system.

Purpose of a Plumbing Inspection

Faulty or broken plumbing can be expensive. If you have a leak somewhere in your plumbing system, it will only get worse. Repair costs will increase the longer you wait to fix it. Plus, you’ll be wasting money on water usage in the meantime. 

Getting regular plumbing inspections can detect small issues that, if left unresolved, could grow into much larger and more expensive repairs. Since most homes and businesses depend on a well-functioning plumbing system, it’s a good idea to avoid any breakdowns. Here are some objectives of a plumbing inspection:

• Detect issues before they become emergencies
• Avoid extensive water damage
• Keep your water consumption (and bills) in check
• Mitigate the risk of damaged pipes
