What To Expect During a Water Heater Tune-up

To keep your water heater working as expected, it’s important to keep it properly maintained by having a professional tune it up each year. During these routine services you can expect a plumber to perform the following tasks:

• Drain the basin and remove any buildup of sediment, which can create a myriad of issues if not done regularly.
• Inspect both the inside and outside of the unit for hairline cracks or signs of aging that could eventually cause larger issues.
• Check for any cracks in the hoses.
• Inspect and change your filters when needed.
• Determine if the unit is operating at maximum efficiency.

How To Avoid Burst Pipes

A burst pipe can quickly become a plumbing emergency - with hundreds of gallons of water flooding your property. Fortunately, there are ways to avoid burst pipes:

• Ensure that your pipes are properly insulated during colder weather. If they’re not, apply a heat wrap.
• Run water at a trickle in your sinks during colder weather to promote a constant flow and prevent freezing.
• Call a professional if you notice reduced water pressure at your property.
• Look for signs of leaks inside your property.
• Have your pipes inspected.
• Have aging pipes replaced.
• Schedule routine drain cleanings to remove any buildup in your pipes.

Benefits of Regular Professional Drain Cleaning Services

Clogged drains can be a nuisance to deal with - between the smell, the inconvenience of not being able to use a sink, having to shower in standing water, and more. To avoid these blockages - and possible damage to your property - schedule regular professional drain cleanings. Some advantages of these services can include:

• Clear stubborn clogs you’re unable to remove on your own.
• Eliminate slow drains.
• Lower the risk of plumbing emergencies by catching issues early.
• Reduce odors by eliminating any blockages.
• Provide the opportunity to identify other plumbing issues that may be affecting your water use and drainage, from improperly graded or ventilated drains to leaky pipes.

Insulation and Heat Wraps for Pipes

Insulating your pipes is crucial to preventing burst pipes during colder weather. Ensure all exposed pipes, particularly in unheated areas like the attic or crawl space, are properly insulated with foam sleeves or heat wraps. This additional layer of protection helps maintain the temperature of the water inside, reducing the risk of freezing and bursting.

In addition to insulation, consider installing heat wraps on vulnerable pipes. These specialized wraps use electricity to generate heat, keeping the pipes at a safe temperature even when the ambient air is freezing. By taking these preventative measures, you can help avoid the hassle and costly damage caused by burst pipes.

Identifying and Resolving Drainage Issues

Regular professional drain cleaning services can help identify and resolve a variety of drainage problems in your home. A trained plumber will use specialized tools and techniques to thoroughly inspect your drains, locate the source of any clogs or blockages, and effectively clear them. This not only restores proper water flow but also allows the plumber to identify any underlying issues that may be contributing to the drainage problems.

During a drain cleaning service, the plumber may also provide recommendations for improving your home's drainage system. This could include installing additional vents, adjusting pipe gradients, or addressing any leaks or cracks in the piping. By addressing these problems, you can prevent future clogs and ensure your drains continue to function efficiently.
