Request a Call Back
Most plumbing failures don’t happen without warning — they build up slowly over months or years. Routine maintenance catches the early signs before they become emergency calls. It’s also significantly cheaper: a $150 inspection can prevent a $3,000 water damage repair.
What a Plumbing Maintenance Visit Covers
- Water heater inspection — sediment flush, anode rod check, temperature and pressure valve test
- Under-sink inspection — supply lines, drain connections, signs of slow leaks
- Toilet inspection — fill valve, flapper, wax ring, supply line
- Drain performance check — flow rate, early signs of buildup
- Visible pipe inspection — corrosion, mineral buildup, joint integrity
- Water pressure check — high pressure damages fixtures and accelerates wear
- Shut-off valve function — main valve and individual fixture valves
Why Water Pressure Matters for Maintenance
Normal residential water pressure runs between 40–80 PSI. Pressure consistently above 80 PSI puts stress on every supply line, fixture, and appliance connection in your home. Over time, it causes washers and seals to fail faster, increases the likelihood of pinhole leaks, and can damage water heaters and appliances. If we find elevated pressure during a maintenance visit, a pressure reducing valve is the fix — simple and inexpensive relative to the damage it prevents.
Seasonal and Annual Scheduling
We recommend a full plumbing inspection annually for most homes — and more frequently for older homes with original plumbing, properties with private wells, or homes that have experienced previous leak issues. Charlotte-area homes also benefit from a pre-winter check of exterior hose bibs and any exposed lines.
