Scheduled maintenance for home and commercial plumbing. Water heater flush, anode-rod check, valve exercise, pressure test, drain treatment, and fixture inspection — extends the life of the whole system.
This guide anchors our plumbing maintenance services in Georgia — the specialized fixes below go deeper on each job, and the full plumbing maintenance catalog lists everything we handle.
Plumbing maintenance is the most economically rational service we offer. The numbers consistently favor scheduled maintenance over reactive repair: a $129 annual visit replaces the far larger unscheduled cost of a flooded floor from a failed water heater or a sewage backup from a neglected main line. More importantly, homes that receive annual maintenance see water heater, valve, and drain life extended meaningfully, which pushes expensive replacements further out.
Maintenance plans are pre-scheduled — we send a reminder 30 days out, confirm a window, and arrive on the agreed date. Plans include flushing the water heater and checking the anode rod, exercising the main and fixture shut-offs so they'll turn when you need them, measuring water pressure and checking the PRV, treating and camera-checking drains as needed, and inspecting every fixture and supply line for early leaks. Plan members get 10% off any repair flagged during the visit and priority dispatch on emergencies between visits.
For commercial properties, maintenance is operational risk management. A restaurant grease line that clogs during dinner service, or a backflow assembly that fails its annual test, costs far more in downtime and fines than the maintenance visit that would have caught it — so we build jetting and backflow testing into the schedule.
Signs you need plumbing maintenance
No service in 12+ months
Water heaters, valves, and drains all benefit from annual attention. Going past 18 months without service moves you into reactive-repair territory.
Hard water or a well
Homes with hard water or well systems build scale and sediment faster and benefit from semi-annual flushing and treatment rather than annual.
Coastal zones see corrosion progress faster on pipes, fittings, and water heater tanks. Semi-annual service is the right cadence.
Aging water heater (8+ years)
Older tanks benefit disproportionately from a flush and anode check — draining the sediment and replacing the rod can add years to an 8-year-old heater.
Pre-listing prep
A documented maintenance history adds confidence in inspection negotiations during a home sale and heads off surprises about the water heater and lines.
Common causes & what we fix
Sediment and scale
Minerals settle in the water heater and coat pipe and fixtures continuously. Flushing and treatment slow the buildup and catch it before it kills an element or clogs a line.
Valve seizure
Shut-offs that never move corrode and seize, so the valve you need in an emergency won't turn. Exercising them yearly keeps them functional.
Anode-rod depletion
The sacrificial rod in the water heater is consumed over a few years, after which the tank corrodes. Checking and replacing it is the single highest-leverage maintenance task on the heater.
Pressure drift
Municipal pressure and a tiring PRV push house pressure up over time, stressing every joint. Annual measurement and adjustment keeps it in the safe range.
Drain and grease buildup
Kitchen and main lines coat with grease and scale between uses. Scheduled treatment or jetting keeps them clear instead of letting them back up.

Frequently asked about plumbing maintenance
Top questions homeowners searching for Plumbing Maintenance near me ask us:
How often should I service my plumbing?
Annual for typical homes, semi-annual for hard-water, well, coastal, and commercial systems. Quarterly for high-use commercial grease lines and backflow assemblies.
What's included in a maintenance visit?
Water heater flush and anode-rod check, main and fixture shut-off exercise, water pressure test and PRV check, expansion tank check, drain flow and treatment, and inspection of every fixture, supply line, and visible pipe for early leaks and corrosion.
Do I need to be home?
Preferred but not required. We can perform the visit while you're at work and leave the written report. The water heater and main shut-off do need to be accessible.
Is the maintenance plan worth it?
For most homeowners, yes — the math works out favorably even before considering reduced emergency calls. The 10% repair discount and priority dispatch are bonuses.
What if you find a problem?
We document it in the written report with severity (Watch / Action) and a flat-rate quote to address. You decide whether to fix it during the visit, schedule a return, or defer.
