Maintaining a healthy and efficient plumbing system is crucial for the comfort and functionality of any home. However, over time, pipes, fixtures, and appliances can wear out, leading to leaks, decreased water pressure, and higher utility bills. To ensure your plumbing is in top shape, we offer a comprehensive whole home plumbing assessment. Let’s delve into what exactly is included in this assessment and discuss when you should consider scheduling one.
When should you consider a plumbing assessment?
Here are some common signs that indicate it’s time to consider a plumbing assessment:
Recently Moved into a New Home
If you’ve recently moved into a new home, it’s essential to have a plumbing assessment performed. Even if the previous owners claim the plumbing is in good condition, it’s wise to have a professional assessment to ensure everything is working properly and to identify any potential issues before they become major headaches.
Change in Water Pressure
A noticeable change in water pressure throughout your home can be indicative of underlying plumbing problems. Whether it’s a sudden decrease in pressure or sporadic fluctuations, it’s crucial to have a plumbing assessment to diagnose the root cause and address any potential leaks, blockages, or damaged pipes that may be affecting the pressure.
Over 2 Years Since Last Assessment
If it has been more than two years since your plumbing systems were last assessed, it’s highly recommended to schedule a comprehensive evaluation. Over time, wear and tear can take a toll on your pipes, fixtures, and appliances, leading to leaks, inefficiencies, and potential water damage. A professional assessment will help identify any areas that require maintenance or repairs to keep your plumbing system functioning optimally.
Higher Than Normal Water Bill
If you’ve noticed a sudden increase in your water bill without any significant changes in your water usage habits, it’s a clear indication that something may be amiss with your plumbing. A plumbing assessment can help detect hidden leaks, identify inefficient fixtures, and pinpoint areas where water conservation measures can be implemented, ultimately saving you money in the long run.
What’s included in the assessment?
A whole home plumbing assessment conducted by Lion Home Service includes a thorough assessment of various crucial components. Here is what is included:
Water Heater:
During the assessment, our experts will assess your water heater thoroughly. They will check the temperature pressure valve, drain and flush the tank, examine the burner pilot assembly, assess the drain valve, vent pipe, and more. This ensures your water heater operates safely and efficiently.
Bathrooms:
The plumbing assessment includes a meticulous examination of all bathroom fixtures. Experts will assess tank components, toilet handles, flush power, emergency stop and supply systems, secure toilet-to-floor connections, faucets, sink trap drains, shower heads, tub spouts, and more. Identifying and resolving any issues in these areas can prevent leaks, improve water efficiency, and enhance overall bathroom performance.
Kitchen:
The kitchen is a central hub in every home, and its plumbing must function flawlessly. Our assessment covers various kitchen components, including drain piping, emergency water shutoff systems, dishwasher drains, disposals, water filters, sinks, and more. Ensuring proper functioning of these elements helps prevent clogs, leaks, and potential water damage.
Laundry:
In the laundry room, experts will assess the emergency water shutoff and supply systems, sink trap drains, sink drain flow, and dryer vents. Proper functioning of these components ensures optimal performance and helps prevent potential flooding or damage to your laundry area.
Outside Plumbing:
Outdoor plumbing systems are equally important, and our assessment covers various aspects such as water pressure, main line cleanouts, double check valves, outdoor kitchen faucets and sinks, and more. Addressing any issues with these elements can help maintain an efficient and reliable outdoor plumbing system.
Water Quality:
Water quality is a crucial factor for the health and well-being of your family. Our whole home plumbing assessment includes tests for chlorine levels, water hardness, and the performance of whole-house filters. We will also assess discharge piping to ensure proper drainage and disposal.
Pumps:
If you have a pump system in your home, the assessment will include a thorough examination of high water alarms, check valves, battery backup charges, drain flow, and more. This helps ensure your pump system is functioning optimally and ready to handle any water-related emergencies.
