People typically only call a plumbing professional when they have an emergency that requires immediate attention. The health of your pipes is often out of sight and out of mind. However, it’s actually very advantageous to have your plumbing system inspected on a regular basis. Annual plumbing inspections keep your systems running smoothly and can often discover potential problems before they turn into expensive repairs. Plumbing inspections are necessary to determine if you have leaky pipes in your home. When these problems first arise, you might not even notice. But if left undetected, the damage could be massive and costly. Cellino Plumbing experts can easily pinpoint the source of your pipe leak without the hassle of knocking down walls or floors.
Living in Western New York these inspections are especially important because as the Buffalo winters come, frozen pipes can be your worst enemy. Can you imagine being stuck at home during a blizzard and having an unforeseen plumbing emergency? Sure, being the City of Good Neighbors, maybe you have a friendly face down the street willing to let you use their shower, but that won’t stop the odors from a frozen pipe from pouring into your home.
So What Can You Expect From A Cellino Plumbing Inspection?
Preventative maintenance like plumbing inspections stops small problems from evolving into major repairs. But what exactly do our technicians do during these visits? Here’s a short list of their objectives:
- Ensure that safety shut-offs are working properly and can be easily located
- Check for wasted water use (leaks, running toilets). In addition to maintaining your pipes’ health, this can save you money on your water bill!
- Check that your water pressure is at an appropriate level
- Examine supply lines and drains to ensure a healthy flow through your plumbing.
- Inspect all plumbing fixtures, drains, toilets, faucets, and appliances that use water
Even though a plumber’s checklist for these inspections can be fit into five bullet points, we can’t let the brevity of that underplay the value that they bring, for both your immediate future and down the road. We’ve outlined many of the benefits already, but to reiterate, undergoing preventative maintenance in the form of a plumbing inspection will:
- Minimize your risk of unexpected plumbing emergencies
- Increase the lifespan of your pipes and fixtures
- Keep your drains clear and water flowing
- Improve overall water pressure
- SAVE YOU MONEY – both on repairs and your monthly water bill
And not to belittle the impact a burst pipe can have on your life, but that’s far from the worst effect nasty plumbing systems can have. The bacteria that seeps into your home’s air can cause Diarrhea, Typhoid Fever, and many more illnesses.
We’d hate for anyone in our community to experience the negative impacts of neglected plumbing, so if you’re in the Buffalo area and think you could benefit from a plumbing inspection, give Cellino Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling a call!
