Your plumbing is one of the biggest investments you can make in your home – you use it every day, multiple times a day, to clean, drink, or bathe. In fact, the average household uses about 300 gallons of water per day. So, when your plumbing is not maintained properly, your daily routine is interrupted, and you’ve got to make plans for repairs. We’ve listed below why regular plumbing maintenance is so important and even a few tips on how to check if your plumbing system is running smoothly or if it’s time to give Eastern Plumbing a call!
Cost Effective
In the long run, scheduling regular maintenance on your plumbing will actually save you money. When minor issues are addressed quickly, before they escalate, you can avoid the expensive costs of repairs and replacements, extensive water damage, or even structural damage. Regular cleaning and flushing of your plumbing system will reduce the number of issues and malfunctions you may experience. Not only will you save yourself from hefty bills, but your plumbing will function much more efficiently.
Extended Lifespan
Just like your car, your plumbing can have an extended lifespan when it is taken care of correctly. Preventative maintenance and services allow for an optimized system that you can trust will run smoothly. On the flip side, plumbing that is not maintained can lead to premature wear and tear, cracks, leaks, and buildup. All of these factors cause the lifespan of your plumbing system to decrease quickly. Plumbing is an important aspect of your home, one that you rely on every day, whether it be taking a shower, washing a dish, or doing a load of laundry. Take good care of your plumbing and schedule your regular plumbing maintenance so you can avoid untimely repairs or replacements.
Catch Problems Early On
Regular maintenance helps to avoid small issues that may lead to severe damage. When your plumbing is not inspected or serviced regularly, hidden issues go uncovered for too long and can lead to major problems. Instead, many big problems can be avoided with yearly inspections and maintenance, as issues like early signs of corrosion or leaks can be fixed in a timely and efficient manner. Prevent having to deal with expensive damage and repairs by ensuring your plumbing is given the attention and service it needs.
Maintenance to Perform
Annual maintenance performed by a professional plumbing company like Eastern Plumbing means that your pipes and plumbing will be in great condition year-round, but you can also perform a few checks yourself to be aware of the status of your plumbing system.
- Check your faucets, toilets, and showerheads for leaks
- Take note of your water pressure and any changes
- Run your garbage disposal regularly
- Inspect your water heater for any corrosion or leaks
- Listen out for toilets that constantly run
