Maintenance
Most failures give notice. Someone has to be looking.
Scheduled inspection of the whole water system: fixtures, water heaters, shut-offs, drainage, sump pumps and backflow prevention.
The visit that prevents the other visit.
A maintenance visit is an inspection with a plumber’s eyes on it. We look at the system rather than at the complaint: supply lines, drains, shut-off valves, water pressure, and the fixtures and appliances that depend on all of it, including faucets, toilets and water heaters. What we find early is a repair. What we find late is a claim.
Two pieces of equipment matter more here than they get credit for. A sump pump keeps groundwater out of a basement or crawl space on the sloped lots this city is built on, and it only works if the float, the discharge line and the backup were tested before the rain. A backflow preventer keeps used water out of the supply, which is a health question rather than a convenience one.
Maintenance can be arranged as a single annual visit or as part of a membership, which adds priority scheduling, member pricing and a documented inspection each year. The tiers and what each one includes are set out on the protection plans page.
The work
What we take on
Whole-system inspection
Supply, drainage, fixtures and appliances checked for leaks, clogs and the early signs of failure.
Water heater service
Annual flush, anode rod condition, temperature setting, venting and seismic strapping.
Shut-offs and pressure
Main and fixture valves tested, and a pressure regulator recommended where the incoming pressure warrants it.
Drain and sewer condition
Camera inspection where the history of the building or the symptoms call for it.
Sump pump installation and service
Pedestal and submersible pumps, sized to the pit and the lot, with battery or water-powered backup.
Sump pump testing
Float, check valve, discharge line and alarm tested before the wet season rather than during it.
Backflow prevention installation
We assess the system, select the device the property needs and install it to code as certified installers.
Membership plans
Priority scheduling, member pricing and an annual inspection on record. The tiers are on our protection plans page.
Questions
What clients ask first
Once a year for the system as a whole. Drainage and sump pumps are worth checking before the wet season, when a small fault is still a small fault.
A full inspection of the plumbing system: leaks, clogs, supply and drain condition, water pressure, and the fixtures and appliances connected to it, including faucets, toilets and water heaters.
Water in a basement or crawl space, cracks in the foundation, or mold and mildew below grade all point to one. Sloped lots and older foundations collect groundwater quickly when a storm sits over the city.
A device fitted to the water pipes with two one-way valves, so water can only flow into the property. It keeps contaminated water from reversing into the supply line.
Maintenance can be booked on its own. The memberships add priority scheduling, member pricing and a documented annual inspection, and the tiers are set out on our protection plans page.
