FAQs
Why is routine plumbing maintenance important for Duff homeowners?
Regular maintenance keeps your pipes, fixtures, and water-heating equipment running smoothly, reduces the risk of sudden breakdowns, and helps detect small leaks before they create expensive water damage. In Duff’s mixed climate, seasonal temperature swings can stress pipes, making proactive inspections especially valuable.
What services are included in your routine plumbing maintenance visit?
Our standard maintenance package for Duff customers covers: a complete visual inspection of exposed pipework, leak detection using acoustic and moisture tools, water pressure and flow testing, drain camera inspection on main lines, water-heater flush and safety check, tap and toilet seal replacements as needed, and a written report with recommendations.
How often should I schedule a maintenance check for my plumbing system?
For most homes in Duff, we recommend a professional inspection once a year. Older properties, homes with mature trees (root intrusion risk), or buildings with hard-water issues may benefit from a 6-month schedule. We’ll help you choose a plan that matches your property’s age, usage, and water quality.
Can routine maintenance help lower my water bills?
Yes. Finding and fixing silent leaks, optimizing water pressure, and servicing appliances such as water heaters and dishwashers improve efficiency. Even a small drip can waste hundreds of gallons per month, so preventative adjustments often pay for themselves through lower utility costs.
What signs indicate I should book a maintenance appointment sooner?
Call us right away if you notice unexplained spikes in your water bill, slow drains throughout the house, damp spots on walls or floors, reduced hot-water supply, banging or whistling pipes, or discoloration/rust in tap water. These symptoms suggest emerging issues that early intervention can resolve cheaply.
Is routine plumbing maintenance covered by a service warranty or membership program?
Absolutely. We offer a Duff HomeCare membership that includes one free annual maintenance visit, priority scheduling, extended part warranties, and a 10% discount on any repairs identified during the check. Ask our office for enrollment details and pricing.
