How Scheduling Routine Plumbing Checks Can Save You Money

As a homeowner, it’s important to routinely maintain your home, which includes your plumbing. If you’re putting off having your plumbing checked, there may be serious issues that can lead to additional damage to your home. If you want to keep your home’s plumbing running smoothly and save money on potentially expensive repairs and replacements, schedule routing plumbing checks.

Fix Small Plumbing Issues

Scheduling routine plumbing checks can help you fix small plumbing problems throughout your home, which is always convenient if you’re not handy with plumbing fixes. Whether the plumbing issue is causing some damage or if it’s simply bothering you, having a routine with your plumbing service schedule can help keep your home’s plumbing running smoothly.

Prevent Major Issues

If small plumbing issues aren’t fixed promptly, they can quickly turn into major plumbing issues that can cause severe damage to your home. For example, a leaky pipe can easily turn into a broken pipe, which is much more expensive and time consuming to repair. If the broken pipe is inside your home, it can cause severe damage to the area and can cause mould to grow, which is a health hazard for your family. If the pipe is underground outside, the entire pipe will have to be dug up to be replaced.

Getting in the habit of regularly scheduling plumbing check-ups is going to save you a lot of money in potential future repairs. By having the team at Murphys Plumbing come out to check your plumbing system on a set schedule, we can prevent any major plumbing issues from happening in the future.

Learn Plumbing Best Practices

We love teaching our customers best plumbing practices. When you have our team come out to your home or business for regular services, we can also walk you through some simple tips and tricks to keep your plumbing free from issues. As plumbing techniques change, we will make sure to let you know of new and innovative ways that you can prevent issues in your plumbing.

We can also walk you through simple repairs that you can do yourself if an issue comes up that needs addressed quickly – by teaching you techniques to maintain emergency plumbing issues, you can reduce the amount of potential damage while our service team is dispatched to repair the problem. While most plumbing issues require an experienced plumbing professional to fix, there are some simple things you can do for a quick plumbing repair.

For example, if your kitchen sink disposal stops working, check to see if the safety switch at the bottom of the disposal has been activated. If not, use an Allen wrench and insert it into the slot at the bottom of your disposal to manually rotate the blades and clear them of food debris. Simple tips like these can help save you time and money, and we are more than happy to teach you techniques like these on our service calls.
