Most people only call a plumber in Springfield, Missouri whenever something isn't working with their plumbing. Whether it's a clogged toilet or a leaky faucet. But there's a few smart customers who call us for annual plumbing inspections to make sure we catch any minor plumbing problems before they become major headaches.
What are the benefits of scheduling an annual inspection of your plumbing in Springfield Missouri? Just like it's a good idea to see your doctor every year for a physical, it's a good idea to have a plumber that you trust check the plumbing in your home for any potential problems.
Most plumbing problems don't end up on our radar until the problem is fairly significant. But if you have a small drip coming from one of your pipes that you haven't noticed, those drips can add up over time and cause significant water damage.
And if that drip turns into a steady stream of water, it might not be long before you have a burst pipe and a giant mess. With Murphy's Law, things always seem to break at the most inconvenient time.
If you’d had your plumbing inspected beforehand, our plumbers could have spotted the leak and saved you from spending extra money on costly repairs.
Your home’s water heater is another part of your plumbing that can benefit from regular inspections. Over time, sediment particles that form during the water heating process can gather at the bottom of your water heater and reduce its efficiency. A regular plumbing inspection, especially before the colder weather hits, ensures that everything is running fine all winter long.
Are you considering upgrading your home’s plumbing? Maybe you’re looking to sell your home or give your kitchen or bathroom a complete overhaul. Those are prime opportunities to have your plumbing checked for any issues while the pipes are easier to reach.
Particularly if you’re selling your home, you want to make sure that none of your plumbing will get flagged during a home inspection by any potential buyers. This will increase your home’s value.
How often should you have your plumbing inspected? Once per year is recommended for older homes and it's easier to remember to schedule it each year.
Getting a regular plumbing inspection can go a long way in making life easier. Not only can it prevent small plumbing problems from becoming big ones, but also provide peace of mind and increase your home’s value.
If it’s been several years since your last plumbing inspection, don’t wait any longer. Call us at United Plumbing and let us make sure you don't have any ticking time bombs with potential plumbing problems.
