FAQs
How often should I schedule routine plumbing maintenance for my Guild home?
For most households in Guild, we recommend a full plumbing inspection once a year. If your property is older than 25 years, has mature trees nearby, or you have a history of recurring clogs, consider scheduling maintenance every six months. Regular check-ups allow us to catch leaks, corrosion, or blockages early—saving you money on major repairs.
What does a routine plumbing maintenance visit include?
During a standard visit our licensed Guild plumbers will: • Visually inspect all accessible pipes and fixtures for leaks or corrosion • Test water pressure and temperature to ensure safe, efficient operation • Flush and descale water heaters, check anode rods, and verify thermostats • Clean and camera-scope main drain lines to spot roots or build-up • Inspect shut-off valves, sump pumps, toilets, taps, and hose bibs • Provide a written report with any recommendations and upfront estimates if repairs are needed
Can routine maintenance really lower my water bills?
Yes. Tiny leaks, running toilets, and inefficient fixtures can waste hundreds of litres a day. Catching and repairing these issues during maintenance can lower your water usage by up to 10-15%. Additionally, flushing sediment from your water heater improves energy efficiency, which can reduce utility costs.
What happens if you find a serious problem during maintenance?
If we discover a fault that requires immediate attention—such as a failing water heater, hidden slab leak, or collapsed drain—we’ll show you live camera or diagnostic footage and provide repair options on the spot. Our vans are stocked with common parts, so many fixes can be completed the same day. If extensive work is required, we’ll schedule it at your convenience and credit the cost of the maintenance visit toward the repair.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured to work in Guild?
Absolutely. Every technician holds current City & Guilds plumbing qualifications, is Gas Safe registered (for work on boilers and gas piping), and carries full public liability insurance. We also conduct background checks and ongoing training to meet Guild’s building regulations and water bylaws.
How can I prepare my plumbing system before the technician arrives?
To help us work efficiently: • Clear space around sinks, water heaters, and access panels. • Make sure pets are secured. • List any recent plumbing issues or unusual noises. • Know where your main shut-off valve is located; we may need to test it. • If you have smart devices (e.g., leak sensors), have login details handy so we can integrate them into our inspection.
