FAQs
What does routine plumbing maintenance include for homes in Decherd?
Our routine plumbing maintenance service covers a full inspection of visible pipework, checking water pressure, flushing the water heater to remove sediment, inspecting shut-off valves, testing sump pumps, clearing minor drain obstructions, and examining fixtures for leaks or corrosion. We also provide a written report with recommendations so you know exactly what was checked and any issues that need attention.
How often should I schedule plumbing maintenance?
For most Decherd homeowners we recommend an annual visit. Older homes, homes on well water, or those with large families may benefit from a bi-annual service because heavier usage and mineral content can accelerate wear on pipes and fixtures.
Why is preventive plumbing maintenance important?
Regular maintenance helps detect small leaks, pressure imbalances, or corrosion before they lead to burst pipes, water damage, or high utility bills. Catching issues early can save hundreds—or even thousands—of dollars in emergency repairs and property restoration costs. It also extends the life of your water heater, faucets, and other fixtures.
Do you offer maintenance plans specifically for Decherd residents?
Yes. We have a Decherd Preferred Plan that locks in discounted annual inspections, priority scheduling, and 10% off any repair work discovered during the visit. Plan members also get no-charge emergency call-outs during business hours.
Can I perform routine plumbing checks myself?
Homeowners can do simple tasks like visually inspecting for leaks under sinks, testing toilet flappers, and cleaning faucet aerators. However, many critical checks—such as water heater flushing, pressure regulator testing, and video drain inspection—require professional tools and expertise. A licensed plumber ensures all components meet Tennessee plumbing codes and that your home insurance remains valid.
How much does a routine maintenance visit cost in Decherd?
A standard single-family home visit starts at $139, which includes the full multi-point inspection, water heater flush, and minor adjustments. Larger properties or homes with multiple water heaters are quoted individually before work begins. Members of our Decherd Preferred Plan receive a reduced rate of $119 per visit.
