Seasonal Plumbing Inspections Will Save You Money

Our Southlake TX plumbing team strongly recommends that you have us do seasonal plumbing inspections to help prevent plumbing emergencies and break downs. One of these should be done right before winter time as part of the winterization process in your basement.

A second one should be done in spring when the thaw begins. These two are essential if you want to save on plumbing repair bills. They'll also prolong the life of that American Standard or Westinghouse water heater that you're so fond of.

Perform Regular Inspections With The Help Of Our Plumbing Team

Of course, the fixtures, pumps, and water heaters in your basement aren't the only items in the home that require inspection. The plumbing fixtures in your kitchen, particularly those that use natural gas, should be checked on regularly. Appliances that are permanently connected to pipes and drains should be examined for structural integrity and the drains should be professionally flushed out at least once a year. This is even more important if you have a septic system that could malfunction if not maintained properly. Those repairs can be quite costly.

Checking your water heater on a regular basis is always a great idea when it comes to maximizing your water heater's life. Don't waste money on a new water heater before you have to.

Let Our Plumbers Perform The Required Maintenance

An added inspection in the middle of summer can reveal problem areas that you won't see in winter and an inspection during the winter could save you the headache of a frozen pipe or flooded basement. Many of our customers rely on our Southlake TX Plumbing techs for twice-yearly seasonal inspections, and it's rare they have to see us any other time. The cost for five years of seasonal inspections is still less than that of an average emergency repair service. Contact us to learn more.

Upgrades of older elements of your plumbing system are recommended for both reliability and cost effectiveness. Newer water heaters burn less gas or electricity and have better output volume and higher temperatures. There are more companies manufacturing them now.

Whirlpool and Kenmore are still available, but look into Bosch, Rheem, or Eemax while you're shopping. Make sure you also ask us about tank-less, solar, and hybrid options before you make a final purchase.
