FAQs
What does your routine plumbing maintenance service in Andersonville include?
Our standard maintenance visit covers a full visual inspection of all exposed supply and drain lines, pressure-testing at key fixtures, water heater tune-up (flushing sediment, checking anode rod, thermostat calibration), cleaning of faucet and shower aerators, garbage disposal service, dye-testing toilets for hidden leaks, and a video drain camera check on the main line. We finish with a written report that notes current system health and any recommended repairs.
How often should Andersonville homeowners schedule routine plumbing maintenance?
For most single-family homes we recommend one comprehensive visit per year. Andersonville’s mix of older housing stock and freeze-thaw cycles can accelerate wear on pipes, so annual service helps catch small leaks, corrosion, and sewer root intrusion before they become expensive emergencies. Larger households, rental properties, or homes with mature trees near the sewer lateral may benefit from twice-yearly inspections.
Will regular plumbing maintenance really lower my water and energy bills?
Yes. Fixing silent toilet leaks, worn faucet cartridges, or a partially clogged water heater can cut water usage by 10-15 %. Flushing sediment from the heater and setting the thermostat correctly can save 5-10 % on gas or electric costs. Our technicians also check for pressure issues that cause fixture damage and water waste, so the service often pays for itself within months.
Are your plumbers experienced with Andersonville’s older galvanized and clay sewer lines?
Absolutely. Many Andersonville homes were built before 1950 and still use galvanized supply pipes or vitrified clay sewer laterals. Our licensed plumbers carry the right tools and replacement fittings for these materials, and our inspection cameras are sized to navigate 2"–6" lines common in the neighborhood. We can advise on spot repairs, epoxy relining, or full replacements if your system is near the end of its life.
Do you offer a maintenance plan, and what does it cost?
Yes. Our Annual Plumbing Care Plan is $189 for single-family homes and $159 per unit for multi-unit buildings when three or more units enroll together. The plan includes the yearly tune-up, priority scheduling, a 10 % discount on any repairs discovered during the visit, and waived trip charges on emergency calls within Andersonville city limits.
What happens if your technician finds a serious problem during my maintenance visit?
If we uncover an urgent issue—such as an active leak, failed pressure regulator, or a sewer line obstruction—we’ll show you camera or photo evidence on site, provide clear repair options and pricing, and, with your approval, can usually start the fix immediately. Plan members receive priority service, but we extend the same 24/7 emergency response to all Andersonville customers, ensuring your home is protected without delay.
