FAQs
What does “routine maintenance” mean for commercial plumbing systems in Tullahoma?
Routine maintenance is a scheduled inspection and servicing of all the water, sewer, and gas piping fixtures in your facility. For Tullahoma businesses this typically includes checking backflow devices, water heaters, pressure-reducing valves, drains, and grease traps; testing emergency shut-offs; and flushing supply lines to remove sediment. The goal is to catch wear-and-tear early so you avoid costly downtime, code violations, and unexpected water damage.
How often should my Tullahoma business schedule preventive plumbing maintenance?
Most commercial properties benefit from bi-annual visits—one before peak summer demand and one before winter freezes. Restaurants, medical buildings, and 24-hour facilities with heavy water usage may require quarterly service. After an initial assessment, we’ll recommend a custom schedule based on fixture count, water consumption, and the age of your plumbing system.
What services are included in your commercial maintenance program?
Our standard plan covers: camera inspections of main sewer lines; hydro-jetting or cabling of problem drains; water heater flushing and anode-rod checks; inspection of water meters for hidden leaks; pressure tests on gas lines; backflow prevention testing and certification; fixture re-sealing and re-caulking; and a written report summarizing conditions and any code or safety concerns specific to Coffee and Franklin County ordinances.
Can routine maintenance really lower operating costs?
Yes. Proactive maintenance spots small leaks and failing components before they escalate—saving thousands in water bills, emergency service calls, and potential building closures. For example, a single leaking commercial toilet can waste over 150 gallons a day; fixing it during a scheduled visit usually costs less than 10% of an after-hours emergency repair. Well-maintained water heaters also run 10–20% more efficiently, reducing utility expenses.
Are your technicians licensed and insured for commercial work in Tennessee?
Absolutely. Our plumbers carry current Tennessee CMC-A mechanical contractor licenses with the plumbing classification, are OSHA-10 certified, and maintain $2 million in liability coverage. We handle required permitting and coordinate directly with Tullahoma Utilities Authority and local inspectors to ensure every service meets state and municipal codes.
What happens if you find a critical issue during a maintenance visit?
If we discover a problem that requires immediate attention—such as a failing backflow preventer or a pipe with active leakage—we’ll provide on-the-spot temporary containment, explain repair options, and submit a fixed-price quote before proceeding. For urgent situations, our commercial service team is on call 24/7 and can usually mobilize within two hours anywhere in the Tullahoma area, minimizing downtime for your business.
