FAQs
What types of routine plumbing maintenance services do you provide for commercial properties in Sale Creek?
Our commercial maintenance program is designed to keep every part of your plumbing system running smoothly. Services include scheduled pipe and drain inspections with video cameras, hydro-jetting of sewer and storm lines, water heater and boiler flushing, backflow prevention assembly testing, grease trap cleaning, fixture cartridge replacements, leak detection, and pressure-regulating valve checks. We tailor the plan to the size, age, and water-use patterns of your building so you receive only the services you need, when you need them.
How often should my Sale Creek facility schedule preventive plumbing inspections?
For most offices, retail spaces, and light-industrial buildings, we recommend a comprehensive inspection every 12 months. High-demand environments—such as restaurants, food-processing plants, or facilities with commercial water heaters over 200,000 BTU—benefit from semi-annual (every 6 months) visits. Local healthcare and childcare centers that must meet health-department standards often opt for quarterly service. We assess your water usage and code requirements during our first visit to set an ideal schedule.
Is backflow testing really necessary, and what are the local requirements?
Yes. Hamilton County and the Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation require annual testing of backflow prevention assemblies on all commercial properties to protect the public water supply. Failing to provide a valid test report can lead to fines or temporary water shutoff. As certified backflow testers, we perform the test, make any needed repairs, and file the paperwork directly with the county, keeping you in full compliance without the administrative hassle.
Can routine maintenance actually lower my operating costs?
Absolutely. Small issues—like a leaking flapper valve or a partially blocked condensate line—can waste thousands of gallons of water or cause equipment to work harder than necessary. Routine maintenance detects and corrects these inefficiencies early. Clients typically see water-utility savings of 10-15 % within the first year, and they avoid expensive emergency calls, after-hours rates, and premature equipment replacement. Documented maintenance records can also support insurance claims and extend manufacturer warranties on water heaters and boilers.
Will maintenance disrupt my business operations?
We schedule service at the times least disruptive to you—early mornings, evenings, or weekends—at no additional charge within our maintenance agreements. For daytime visits, our technicians isolate work areas, use drop cloths and HEPA vacuums, and keep at least one restroom operational at all times. Most inspections are non-invasive and completed in two to four hours, allowing your staff and customers to continue their routines with minimal interruption.
What happens if you find a serious problem during a routine maintenance visit?
You receive a digital report with photographs, videos, and a clear description of the issue, along with repair options and transparent pricing. Because you’re enrolled in our maintenance program, you get priority scheduling—usually same-day for critical issues like gas leaks or sewer line failures, and within 24 hours for non-emergencies. In many cases—such as minor valve replacements or small drain clogs—we can fix the problem on the spot, saving you an extra service call.
