FAQs
Why is routine plumbing maintenance important for my commercial property in Erwin?
Regular maintenance prevents unexpected breakdowns that could shut down your business, protects expensive equipment such as water heaters and boilers, and keeps you compliant with Unicoi County health and safety codes. Small issues—like a slowly leaking shut-off valve—are identified early before they cause water damage, mold growth, or inflated utility bills. Consistent servicing also extends the life of your plumbing assets, saving you money on premature replacements.
What does your commercial plumbing maintenance program include?
Our standard maintenance plan covers: (1) full visual and camera inspections of supply and drain lines; (2) water-pressure and flow testing; (3) backflow‐prevention device testing; (4) cleaning of grease traps, floor drains, and trench drains; (5) water heater and boiler descaling, burner checks, and safety-valve testing; (6) fixture tune-ups, including faucet aerator cleaning and flushometer calibration; (7) minor leak repairs and gasket replacements on the spot; and (8) a written inspection report with code-compliance recommendations.
How often should my Erwin facility schedule plumbing maintenance?
Most restaurants, healthcare centers, and manufacturing plants benefit from quarterly service because of their high water usage and stricter regulations. Offices, retail stores, and warehouses generally need semi-annual visits. If your building has older galvanized or cast-iron piping, more frequent checkups may be advisable. After our first assessment, we’ll provide a customized schedule based on fixture count, water demand, and local code requirements.
Can maintenance be performed outside of normal business hours?
Yes. To minimize disruption, we offer evening, overnight, and weekend appointments at no additional charge within the Erwin city limits. Our technicians arrive in fully stocked vehicles so most adjustments or repairs can be completed in a single visit without interrupting your staff or customers.
Does routine maintenance help with code compliance and insurance requirements?
Absolutely. Erwin’s building department and most commercial insurers require documented testing of backflow preventers, water heaters, and pressure-reducing valves. Our maintenance logs include dates, test results, and corrective actions, which satisfy inspectors and can lower your insurance premiums. We also stay current on International Plumbing Code and Tennessee state amendments, ensuring your system meets every applicable standard.
What does commercial plumbing maintenance cost, and are there contracts?
Pricing depends on building size, fixture count, and service frequency. For reference, a 10-fixture office suite typically runs about $195 per semi-annual visit, while a 25-fixture restaurant averages $375 per quarter. We offer both pay-as-you-go and discounted annual contracts with no long-term commitments—cancel anytime with 30-days notice. All plans include priority emergency dispatch and a 10 % discount on any repairs discovered during maintenance.
