FAQs
How often should I schedule routine plumbing maintenance for my Hillsboro home?
For most residences in Hillsboro, we recommend a comprehensive plumbing inspection and maintenance service once a year. Older homes, homes with mature trees near sewer lines, or properties that have experienced previous plumbing issues may benefit from biannual check-ups. Regular annual service helps detect hidden leaks, corrosion, or blockages before they escalate into costly repairs.
What does a routine plumbing maintenance visit include?
Our standard maintenance visit covers: (1) visual inspection of all exposed supply and drain lines for leaks or corrosion; (2) water pressure testing; (3) cleaning and adjusting faucet aerators and showerheads; (4) flushing the water heater to remove sediment; (5) checking the anode rod in tank-type heaters; (6) inspecting toilet components for wear and silent leaks; (7) video camera assessment of accessible drains when warranted; and (8) verifying that emergency shut-off valves operate properly. We provide a written report with findings and recommendations after each visit.
What are the benefits of routine plumbing maintenance?
Consistent maintenance helps you: 1) prevent unexpected breakdowns and water damage; 2) extend the life of fixtures, water heaters, and piping; 3) maintain optimal water pressure and quality; 4) lower monthly water bills by catching leaks early; and 5) stay compliant with manufacturer warranties that often require documented upkeep. In a climate like Hillsboro’s, where seasonal ground shifts and mineral-rich water can stress plumbing systems, preventive care preserves both comfort and property value.
How can I tell if my plumbing needs maintenance before the yearly appointment?
Watch for warning signs such as unexplained spikes in water bills, reduced or fluctuating water pressure, slow drains, gurgling sounds in pipes, rusty or discolored water, persistent odors near drains, or water heater rumbling. If you notice any of these indicators, schedule a service call promptly rather than waiting for the next routine visit.
Is routine plumbing maintenance expensive?
Routine service is far less expensive than emergency repairs. A typical annual maintenance package for a standard single-family home in Hillsboro ranges from $150 to $275, depending on system size and any add-on services like sewer camera inspections. Considering that a single major leak can cost thousands in repairs and water damage restoration, preventive maintenance is a smart and budget-friendly investment.
