FAQs
How often should I schedule routine plumbing maintenance for my Sparta home?
Most residential systems benefit from a full inspection once a year. Homes with older galvanized or poly-butylene piping, high mineral content water, or large families may need a bi-annual service. Regular annual checks catch leaks, corrosion, and water-heater problems early, saving you from emergency repairs and water damage.
What is included in your routine plumbing maintenance visit?
During a standard visit our licensed Sparta technicians: 1) Inspect all visible supply and drain lines for leaks or corrosion, 2) Test water pressure and adjust regulators if needed, 3) Flush and tune the water heater, 4) Clean and camera-scope critical drains, 5) Service sump pumps and back-up batteries, 6) Check fixture shut-off valves, faucets, and toilets for wear, 7) Inspect hose bibbs and outdoor lines for freeze protection, and 8) Provide a written report with any recommended repairs.
Will preventative maintenance really save me money on future repairs?
Yes. National insurance data shows that one burst washing-machine hose or failed water heater can cost 5–10 times more than a year of maintenance. By catching small leaks, removing sediment, and verifying pressure regulators, we extend fixture life, lower the chance of catastrophic failures, and keep water damage claims off your record—saving both repair costs and insurance premiums.
Do I need to be home or prepare anything before your technician arrives?
We prefer a resident 18 years or older be present, but if you can’t be home we can arrange secure access. Clear the area around water heaters, crawl-space doors, and main shut-off valves. If you have pets, please secure them. Knowing the location of your main shut-off and any chronic fixture issues helps us work faster and keeps your appointment under two hours.
Can routine maintenance lower my water and energy bills?
Absolutely. Fixing silent toilet leaks, dripping faucets, and high pressure can save hundreds of gallons per month. A properly flushed water heater heats faster and uses up to 15 % less energy. We also offer optional aerator upgrades and high-efficiency shower heads for homeowners interested in maximizing savings.
Are your maintenance services guaranteed?
All workmanship is covered by a 1-year labor warranty. If a component we serviced fails because we missed an issue, we’ll return and correct it at no charge. Any new parts we install carry the manufacturer’s warranty, and we handle the paperwork for you. Our goal is complete peace of mind for Sparta residents.
