FAQs
What is a Preventative Maintenance Program (PMP) for commercial plumbing and how does it work?
A Preventative Maintenance Program is an ongoing service plan in which our licensed plumbers visit your Tracy City facility on a scheduled basis to inspect, test, clean, and adjust all critical plumbing components. We develop a custom checklist that may include water heaters, backflow preventers, grease interceptors, water lines, sewer mains, fixtures, and pumps. During each visit, we document system conditions, make minor repairs on the spot, provide recommendations, and create a report so you have a written record for budgeting and compliance.
Why is preventative maintenance especially important for businesses in Tracy City?
Tracy City’s municipal water quality, hard-water mineral content, and seasonal temperature swings can accelerate wear on commercial plumbing. Regular maintenance helps you avoid emergency shutdowns, water damage, health-code violations, and unexpected repair costs. It also ensures compliance with local ordinances for backflow prevention and grease management, which are actively enforced by San Joaquin County inspectors.
What services are typically included in a commercial plumbing PMP visit?
A standard visit can cover: • Full visual inspection of all exposed supply and drain lines • Water pressure and flow tests • Cleaning and calibration of flush valves, faucets, and mixing valves • Water heater tank flushing and temperature-pressure relief valve testing • Hydro-jetting of sewer lines or floor drains as needed • Grease interceptor pumping coordination • Backflow device certification • Infrared or acoustic leak detection • Written performance report with photos and recommendations.
How frequently should my business schedule preventative maintenance?
Frequency depends on the building’s size, occupant load, and type of business. Office buildings typically need semi-annual visits, while restaurants, medical facilities, and industrial sites often require quarterly or even monthly service. After an initial assessment, we present a tailored schedule that aligns with manufacturer warranties, local codes, and your operating hours to minimize disruption.
Will a PMP help my company save money?
Yes. Proactive maintenance reduces the likelihood of catastrophic failures, which can cost 3-5 times more than planned service. It maintains fixture efficiency, lowering water and energy bills, and extends equipment life—avoiding premature replacement of water heaters, pumps, or piping. Many insurers offer premium discounts or reduced deductibles when you can show documented maintenance records.
