FAQs
What is a routine plumbing maintenance check?
A routine plumbing maintenance check is a scheduled inspection performed by a licensed plumber to assess the overall condition of your home’s water lines, fixtures, drains, and water-using appliances. During the visit, we look for leaks, corrosion, water-pressure issues, slow drains, hidden moisture, and potential safety concerns such as faulty shut-off valves or outdated supply lines. By catching small problems early, we can correct them before they escalate into costly emergencies.
Why is routine plumbing maintenance important in Etowah?
Etowah’s mix of older homes with aging pipes and newer construction prone to hard-water buildup creates unique plumbing challenges. Routine maintenance helps protect against pipe corrosion from our mineral-rich water, prevents root intrusion common in our tree-lined neighborhoods, and ensures your system is prepared for sudden temperature swings that can cause pipes to expand and contract. Regular checkups extend the lifespan of your plumbing, reduce water waste, and keep you compliant with local codes.
What does your routine plumbing maintenance service include?
Our standard maintenance visit covers: • Whole-home visual inspection of exposed piping, fixtures, and shut-off valves • Water-pressure and flow tests at key fixtures • Dye testing of toilets for silent leaks • Video camera inspection of the main sewer line (when accessible) • Water-heater check for sediment buildup, temperature accuracy, and safety valve operation • Cleaning and deodorizing of sink and tub drains • Replacement of standard aerators and washers, if needed • Written report with photos, recommended repairs, and water-saving tips We tailor each visit to your home’s age, pipe material, and any concerns you mention when booking.
How often should I schedule a plumbing maintenance inspection?
For most Etowah homeowners, we recommend an annual inspection. Homes with mature trees, a history of slab leaks, or older galvanized or polybutylene lines may benefit from twice-yearly checks. If you own a rental property or commercial space subject to heavier usage, quarterly inspections are wise. We can set you up with a reminder plan so you never miss a service interval.
Will a maintenance check disrupt my water service or daily routine?
In nearly all cases, you can continue using your plumbing fixtures during the visit. We may briefly turn off water to individual fixtures (e.g., a toilet or faucet) for testing or part replacement, but total water shutoff is rarely necessary unless a critical issue is found. A typical single-family home inspection takes 60–90 minutes, and we schedule appointments at times that minimize disturbance to your household or business operations.
How much does a routine plumbing maintenance visit cost in Etowah, and do you offer plans?
A one-time maintenance check for a standard single-family residence starts at $119, which includes the full inspection, minor adjustments, and a written condition report. We also offer a Plumbing Protection Plan for $14.95 per month that provides: • One comprehensive maintenance visit per year • 15% discount on any repairs discovered during the inspection • Priority scheduling and waived service call fees • Transferable coverage if you sell your home Pricing can vary for larger properties or specialized equipment, but we always give you a clear, up-front quote before any work begins.
