Avoid Unexpected Plumbing Costs
With rising prices across the board—including plumbing materials—staying proactive with home maintenance can help you avoid expensive surprises. Here’s how:
- Water Heater Check – Flush tanked and tankless heaters annually to prevent sediment buildup. Know your heater’s age so you can replace it before failure.
- Sewer Scope & Maintenance – If your home has history of root intrusions, schedule annual rodding to prevent blockages or sewer line breaks.
- Sump & Ejector Pump Awareness – These submersible pumps last 3–5 years. Track their replacement dates to avoid flooding or sewage backups.
- Flush Smart – Only toilet paper and human waste should go down the toilet. Wipes, food, and hygiene products can cause costly clogs.
