The Benefits of Annual Plumbing Maintenance

· 1 min read

Most homeowners don’t think about their plumbing until something breaks. By then, a $200 maintenance visit has turned into a $5,000 emergency.

What’s Included in a Plumbing Inspection

A thorough annual inspection covers:

  • Water heater check: Anode rod condition, sediment flush, temperature and pressure relief valve test
  • Supply line inspection: Look for corrosion, leaks, and outdated materials (polybutylene, galvanized steel)
  • Drain performance: Slow drains get attention before they become full clogs
  • Toilet and fixture check: Running toilets waste up to 200 gallons per day
  • Water pressure test: Verify pressure is in the safe 40–80 PSI range
  • Hose bib and outdoor plumbing: Critical before Boise winters

The Math on Prevention

A burst pipe in a finished basement can cause $10,000–$25,000 in water damage. A slab leak can undermine your foundation. Annual maintenance catches these issues early when they cost hundreds, not thousands.

Boise-Specific Concerns

Our freeze-thaw cycles are hard on plumbing. Pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces, and unheated garages are especially vulnerable. We check insulation and recommend heat tape where needed.

ACME Maintenance Plans

We offer annual maintenance plans starting at $149 that include priority scheduling, a full inspection, and 15% off any repairs found. No contracts, cancel anytime.
