From Leaks to Water Lines: The Importance of Proactive Plumbing Maintenance

 

Whether it’s negotiating with service providers or wasting money on poor repair jobs, there are plenty of reasons why homeowners delay plumbing maintenance. The reality, however, is that a leaky faucet or a clogged sink can damage more than just your water bill if you’re not careful! 

Keep Your Home—and Pipes—Running Smoothly with Exhale

To keep your home in tip-top shape, our team creates a custom home maintenance plan that includes yearly plumbing maintenance services. Everyday wear and tear can affect even the most robust pipes + systems, which is why it is important to catch problems before they arise. When you postpone routine maintenance, your home becomes susceptible to costly emergencies such as pipe failures, water damage and potential flooding.

 

To help save you time + money, let the experts at Exhale: 

Inspect Main Water + Waste Line Valves

The average household leak accounts for nearly 10,000 gallons of wasted water yearly! 

To ensure your home’s main water line is in working order, our team will visually inspect the B-Box (i.e. shut-off valve) and under-cabinet valves + pipes. To service the main waste line, our Certified Trades Partners use specialized camera equipment to spot any blockages, root intrusions or pipe damage—preventing major financial + sanitation concerns down the line.

Drain + Flush Water Heaters

Our highly experienced handymen will routinely flush your home’s water heater to remove excess sediment that impedes heat transfer + hinders tank efficiency. Similar to traditional water heaters, tankless models must be routinely flushed + have their heat exchangers descaled to ensure optimal performance. With replacements costing between $1,900 to $6,200, investing in proactive maintenance can help prevent premature system failures in the future. 

Inspect Sump Pumps

Protect your home from water damage with a well-maintained sump pump. By routinely inspecting its components, you can best ensure proper internal + external drainage. This simple task can demonstrably reduce the risk of flooding events, ranging in repair costs from $1,600 to $6,900.

Inspect Crawlspaces

Crawlspaces are particularly susceptible to water damage due to their proximity to the ground + lack of ventilation. Our team will address any signs of water intrusion, leaks and mold, which can cost between $1,200 to $5,400 to repair if left unattended!

Clean Faucet Aerators + Filters

Annual aerator cleanings can help improve your systems’ water flow + maintain pipe infrastructure. When it comes to filters, the ideal cleaning frequency often varies by type. After performing our 360° Home Review process, our team will determine the appropriate cleaning or replacement schedule so you don’t have to!

The simple truth is that investing in routine maintenance now can save you time, money and major headaches later. With Exhale, enjoy total peace of mind that your home—and all its plumbing needs—are taken care of.
