Preventative Plumbing and Maintenance in Annville, Lebanon and Palmyra PA

For most of us, the only time we think about the plumbing in our homes is when something goes wrong; and only then do we call on a plumbing contractor.

1. Outdoor faucets — Check for leaks or drips. Even a slow leak costs you a lot for your water bill.
2. Hot Water access — Have you ever wished you could have hot water outside or in the garage when you're cleaning up? We can help you with that.
3. Washing Machine Hoses — Check them for dryness or swelling. If you notice a problem, we can replace them with a new style “no burst” stainless steel hose.
4. Dryer — When was the last time your dryer vent was cleaned from the outside to the inside of your dryer, including the duct of the dryer? Dryers are the leading cause of fires. We highly recommend that you get this cleaning done.
5. Water Heater — How old is your water heater? At age 10 or older, you should consider replacing it. It's possible that yours could last up to 15 years, but the risk of having it go on you means the risk of a flood in your home. Refer to other water heater tips to help you save even more on your energy bills in Lebanon, PA.
6. Pool Heater — If your pool heater is in need of repair or replacement, we work with all types, including gas, electric heat pump and solar. Ask for a free estimate.
7. Gutters and Spouts — A summer check of gutters for clogs, down spouts, or underground pipes is always a good idea. We have the right equipment for the job.
8. Toilets — Should be checked at least once a year. Here's a plumbing tip to check to see if there is water being wasted: Put some food coloring in the tank to change the water color. Let it sit for an hour or more. If the water in the bowl changes color, it's a sign of wasted water. Another consideration — newer toilets use only 1.5 gallons, compared to older toilets which use 5 gallons. The newer model pays for itself in water savings.
