Coatesville Plumbing Maintenance

What to Expect During a Maintenance Visit

Regular maintenance is much more than a quick walkthrough; it’s a look into the components that keep your home watertight. Whether you are calling for a one-time check or are enrolled in our annual care plan, our technicians perform a thorough evaluation of both visible and hidden components.

We start with your faucets and fixtures, checking for worn washers, failing cartridges, and mineral buildup. In the same visit, we inspect your toilets, including internal tank mechanisms like flappers and fill valves. A toilet that "runs" constantly can waste thousands of gallons of water a year. By making small adjustments and replacing internal seals now, we can extend the life of these fixtures without the need for a full replacement.

The Importance of Water Heater & Pipe Care

One of the most critical parts of any maintenance visit is the water heater inspection. Whether you have a gas or electric unit, sediment buildup is an inevitable byproduct of our local water supply. Over time, this sediment settles at the bottom of the tank, creating a barrier that makes the heater work harder. We flush these units to remove the buildup and inspect the temperature and pressure relief valves to check that they are functioning safely.

Beyond the appliances, we perform a pipe inspection. This includes checking exposed lines in your basement or crawlspace for signs of "green" corrosion (oxidation) or white mineral crusting. We also evaluate your drain and sewer health, clearing minor obstructions before they become full-blown blockages. In Chester County, shifting clay soils and aggressive tree roots are common causes of underground pipe misalignment, so catching these issues early can help avoid major excavation projects later on.
