The Importance of Preventative Plumbing Maintenance for Your Home

December 9, 2020 By Brent D. Hershey Leave a Comment

Importance of Preventative Plumbing MaintenanceFor a long time, medicine in the West focused on curative medicine. In other words, focusing on finding cures for all sorts of diseases and conditions. Recently, however, people have focused on preventative medicine – ways to prevent these things from happening in the first place. Did you know that you can do the same for your home plumbing?

Just like with medicine, waiting for a plumbing disaster to happen in your home can be quite costly. Repairing water damage, remediating siding, renewing appliances, etc. Few can afford that! So, with all that in mind, today we’re going to talk about the importance of preventative plumbing maintenance for your home.

Preventative Plumbing Maintenance Cost

First, the bottom line for most people is cost. How much will a plumbing repair cost? Well, if you take maintenance seriously, that’s not a question you’ll have to worry about. After all, the cost of routine maintenance will always be significantly cheaper than a full repair. Consider some of these examples:

Broken Water Heater
Repair: $1,000 – $3,600
Maintenance: $100 – $350

Leaky Toilet
Repair: $350 – $900
Maintenance: $100

Clogged Drain
Repair: $2,000 – $12,000
Maintenance: $100 – $300

Low Water Pressure
Repair: $1,700 – $3,200
Maintenance: $150 – $250

As you can see, repairs can cost over 10x as much as simple routine maintenance! Therefore, when it comes to the bottom line, nothing makes more sense than scheduling regular maintenance.

Preventative Plumbing Maintenance Benefits

Second, saving money isn’t the only benefit to routine maintenance. Other benefits include:

  • Prevent damage to your home from plumbing problems
  • Save time
  • Protect your home from major failures, like a burst pipe
  • Catch small problems early
  • Peace of mind

Preventative Plumbing Maintenance Appliances

Third, while we’re on the subject, people often forget what appliances may need maintenance. That’s because you know everything is right with the plumbing in your home when you don’t have to talk about it or think about it. Out of sight, out of mind. If you’re worrying about your home’s plumbing, there’s a problem. So, some things that may require plumbing maintenance include:

  • Toilets
  • Bathroom and kitchen sinks
  • Refrigerator
  • Washing machine
  • Water heater
  • Irrigation system
  • Sewer system

With regular upkeep, these things will always be out of sight and out of mind.
