FAQs
How often should I schedule routine plumbing maintenance for my Oakdale home or business?
For most residential properties in Oakdale, we recommend a professional plumbing maintenance visit once a year. Commercial facilities or older homes with galvanized piping may benefit from semi-annual checkups. Regular inspections help spot small leaks, corrosion, and blockages early, preventing costly repairs and water damage later.
What does a routine plumbing maintenance visit include?
Our Oakdale maintenance service includes: (1) visual inspection of all exposed water and drain lines, (2) water-pressure test and adjustment if needed, (3) fixture checks for leaks and proper operation, (4) flushing of water heater to remove sediment, (5) drain cleaning for slow or high-use lines, (6) inspection of angle stops, supply hoses, and shut-off valves, and (7) a written report with recommendations so you know the exact condition of your system.
Will routine maintenance really save me money in the long run?
Yes. Small issues like a dripping faucet or a partially blocked drain waste water and energy every day. A single undetected slab leak can add hundreds of dollars to your bill and cause structural damage. Catching these problems during a scheduled maintenance visit is far less expensive than emergency repairs, water mitigation, and potential property restoration.
How long does the maintenance service usually take?
A standard maintenance appointment for an average-sized Oakdale home takes about 60–90 minutes. Larger homes, commercial buildings, or systems with multiple water heaters may take 2–3 hours. We provide an estimated time window when you book, and you’ll receive a call or text when our technician is en route.
Do I need to be present during the maintenance visit?
We prefer that someone 18 or older is on site so the technician can access fixtures, shut-off valves, and appliances, and review any concerns you may have. However, if you can’t be there, we can arrange secure access and discuss findings over the phone or via email afterward. All technicians are background-checked and fully insured for your peace of mind.
Can routine maintenance help improve my water quality in Oakdale?
Absolutely. During maintenance we check for pipe corrosion, test water pressure, and flush your water heater, which removes sediment that can discolor water or create odors. We can also evaluate and service water filtration or softener systems, ensuring you receive clean, great-tasting water straight from the tap.
