FAQs
What does your routine plumbing maintenance service include?
Our routine maintenance covers a full inspection of all visible water supply and drain lines, testing of water pressure, cleaning and adjustment of faucets and shower valves, inspection of toilets for leaks or running water, flushing of water heaters, examination of exposed pipe insulation, and a review of sump pumps or back-flow prevention devices. We also provide a written report with recommendations so you know exactly what was done and what may need attention in the future.
How often should I schedule professional plumbing maintenance?
For most homes we recommend an annual visit. Homes with older piping, high-use fixtures, or hard-water conditions may benefit from twice-yearly service. Regular inspections allow us to spot corrosion, slow leaks, mineral build-up, and pressure irregularities before they become emergency repairs.
Why is preventive plumbing maintenance important?
Proactive care extends the life of your fixtures and pipes, helps maintain manufacturer warranties, reduces the risk of sudden pipe bursts or water damage, and keeps your water heater running efficiently. Industry studies show that every dollar spent on preventive maintenance can save as much as five dollars in future repair and water-damage costs.
Can routine maintenance really lower my water bills?
Yes. A single dripping faucet can waste more than 3,000 gallons per year, and a silent toilet leak can lose up to 200 gallons a day. During maintenance we check for hidden leaks, optimize water-saving settings on fixtures, and ensure your water pressure regulator is set correctly. Small adjustments often result in noticeable monthly savings.
What signs tell me it's time to book maintenance rather than wait for a repair?
If you notice a gradual drop in water pressure, occasional gurgling drains, rust-colored water on start-up, or surging hot-water temperatures, those are early indicators that components need cleaning or adjustment. Addressing them during a maintenance visit is quicker, less disruptive, and far less expensive than waiting for a full breakdown.
Does Reliance offer maintenance plans or warranties that cover these services?
Absolutely. We have tiered Plumbing Protection Plans that include one or two routine maintenance visits per year, priority scheduling, and discounted rates on any necessary repairs. Many water heaters and softeners we install also come with manufacturer warranties that require documented annual maintenance—our plans keep you compliant and fully protected.
