Keeping your plumbing operating efficiently prevents clogs, backups and other problems that could occur. A plumbing maintenance program keeps your plumbing working efficiently and prevents minor problems from turning into major disasters. Here are 11 benefits of enrolling in a plumbing maintenance program.
1. Discounts and Savings
When you sign up for our plumbing maintenance plan, you can benefit from the 10% discount we provide for all your plumbing services. The savings you’ll enjoy from your discounts can add up. Scheduled annual maintenance can also help to prevent plumbing emergencies and expensive repairs.
If you experience a plumbing emergency, you won’t have to pay additional fees for our emergency services. We don’t charge members of our plumbing maintenance program additional fees for emergency plumbing.
2. Catch Minor Issues Early
You might think of a minor leak as an annoyance. For example, if your kitchen faucet drips, you might not believe it’s a reason to call a plumber. However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that a faucet that drips once each second wastes over 3,000 gallons of water each year.
Small pipe leaks can grow and damage your property. With a plumbing maintenance plan, your plumber can identify minor leaks and fix them before they worsen, saving you money on your water and repair bills. If a plumber sees an issue that will become bigger over time, they can give you a repair estimate. If the repair is expensive, you may have the time you need to save up or shop around and apply for financing.
3. Better Performance
Regular preventative maintenance keeps your plumbing working smoothly. Your drains are less likely to back up, you won’t have to deal with clogs or leaks, and your sewer lines will remain clear. You can count on your water heater to produce the hot water your family needs, and your sump pump will keep your basement dry in heavy rains.
Regular maintenance keeps your plumbing operating optimally. Our plumbers catch problems early and fix them, which can also help reduce your utility bills.
4. Regular Inspections
Plumbing maintenance programs typically include regular plumbing inspections. These inspections can help identify problems quickly before they worsen and require costly repairs. Your plumber will inspect your home’s fixtures, pipes, drainage systems, and water heater. We’ll check your washing machine hose, your accessible sump pump and your water heater’s temperature. During your inspection, we’ll look for clogs, worn components, leaks and other issues that can cause problems. Regular plumbing inspections help prevent water damage and other problems caused by plumbing issues.
5. Transferability
If you anticipate selling your home in the next few years, your plumbing maintenance plan can be transferred to the new owner. This gives buyers additional advantages if they decide to purchase your home since it includes blanket coverage for its plumbing. Your plumbing maintenance plan demonstrates that you kept up with your plumbing maintenance and can increase your home’s value.
Prospective buyers look for homes that have well-functioning plumbing systems. Your plumbing maintenance plan membership provides documentation that you completed regular maintenance. This shows how you took care of your home, making it more attractive to potential buyers. Homes with sound plumbing systems typically command higher prices, which means your enrollment might mean a higher return on investment.
6. Satisfaction Guarantee
When you enroll in our plumbing maintenance plan, you can benefit from our satisfaction guarantee. We take pride in our work and always provide high-quality plumbing services. You’ll enjoy peace of mind knowing that your plumbing system is well-maintained and expected to operate smoothly. Our satisfaction guarantee also demonstrates our confidence in our plumbers and their expertise. If you aren’t satisfied with the results of our work or continue to experience problems, we’ll respond and quickly resolve the issue.
7. Extend Your Water Heater’s Lifespan
On average, tank water heaters last eight to 12 years. However, if you regularly maintain your water heater, it can last longer. Sediment can build up inside your water heater and impact its efficiency, and worn components can also reduce its lifespan.
As part of your plumbing maintenance program, our plumbers will inspect and flush your water heater. We’ll also replace non-working or worn components to keep it operating as it should. When your water heater operates at a high efficiency for a longer period, it can extend the appliance’s lifespan.
If your water heater is near the end of its lifetime, our plumbers can recommend a replacement. This may be a similar model to the one you currently have. You could also upgrade to a smart or tankless model.
8. Receive Priority for Service
One benefit of enrolling in a plumbing maintenance plan is receiving priority service. If you experience a plumbing problem between your regular maintenance visits, we will prioritize you and respond as quickly as possible. Being prioritized for service reduces the disruption your plumbing issue causes to your daily routine and helps prevent additional damage from occurring.
9. Fast Repairs and Replacements
When your plumber comes to perform maintenance under your plan, they’ll be able to identify any repairs or replacements that you need during their inspection. Our plumbers have the equipment and expertise to complete fast repairs and the knowledge to explain replacement options to consider. We’ll explain everything to you and provide you with an honest estimate.
If you decide to proceed with a replacement, we will schedule you at your convenience and complete the work quickly. Our plumbers will test the installation to ensure it’s working correctly. We’ll clean everything up and leave no trace that we were there.
10. Increased Efficiency
Regular maintenance keeps your plumbing equipment working as it should, helping to increase its efficiency and reliability. A more efficient plumbing system reduces utility costs, including your water and electric or gas bills (depending on your water heater’s fuel source). It also helps you avoid unexpected water usage spikes caused by leaks or other problems that can substantially increase your water bills.
11. Protects Your Home and Your Family’s Safety
Regular plumbing maintenance helps to prevent problems such as pipe bursts during freezes and damage caused by water leaks. Plumbing maintenance keeps your family safe since our plumbers also inspect your gas connections and gas lines for improper connections and leaks. If we discover a gas leak, we’ll alert you and quickly repair it.
