FAQs
What does routine plumbing maintenance in Townsend include?
Our routine maintenance service is a comprehensive tune-up of your plumbing system. A licensed technician will inspect visible piping, check water pressure, test shut-off valves, flush the water heater, clear aerators, examine fixtures for leaks, look for hidden signs of corrosion, and run a camera through accessible drains. We document all findings and make recommendations before performing any corrective work.
How often should I schedule preventive plumbing inspections?
For most Townsend homes we recommend an annual inspection, typically scheduled in the spring or fall when water usage patterns change. Commercial properties, vacation rentals, or homes with older galvanized piping may benefit from semi-annual visits. If you have a water softener or well system, we can coordinate filter changes and water-quality testing at the same time.
Can routine maintenance really lower my water bills?
Yes. Small drips, silentârunning toilets, or partially closed supply valves can waste hundreds of gallons each month. During maintenance we identify and repair these inefficiencies, optimize water-heater temperature, and advise on fixture upgrades. Most customers see a 5â15 % reduction in water and energy costs after the first visit, making the service pay for itself quickly.
Do you offer maintenance plans for homeowners and businesses?
Absolutely. Our Townsend Protection Plan gives you one or two scheduled visits per year, priority emergency service, waived trip fees, and a 10 % discount on any repairs or installations. Businesses can opt for after-hours scheduling to avoid downtime. Plans are month-to-month with no long-term contract, and you can cancel anytime with 30 daysâ notice.
What signs indicate I need professional maintenance rather than DIY?
If you notice recurring clogs, discolored water, unexplained spikes in water bills, low water pressure, or damp spots on walls or ceilings, itâs time to call us. DIY fixes often mask deeper issues such as pipe corrosion or failing pressure regulators. Our specialized equipmentâthermal cameras, leak-detection acoustic sensors, and drain scopesâlets us find and solve problems without guesswork.
Is routine maintenance covered by your warranty or service guarantee?
Yes. All maintenance work is backed by a 1-year labor warranty and our 100 % satisfaction guarantee. If any component we service fails due to workmanship within that period, we return at no charge. Parts we supply are also covered under the manufacturerâs warranty, which can range from 1 to 6 years depending on the product.
