When you hire a contractor in the Temecula area to be sure to make sure your contractor has a checklist of things to look over when doing a routine preventative maintenance service. This is important to ensure that your plumbing system works smoothly and that everything related to your plumbing has been serviced and assessed. Several things need to be tested and maintained when it comes to your plumbing such as your drains, your heating system, your water pressure and many more. A proactive maintenance list should cover all your plumbing requirements depending on the type of plumbing system you have.
Active leaks Your plumbing should be checked regularly to see if there are any leaks or any minor leaks that cannot be seen but our professionals can pick up. Leaks are really dangerous as it affects your entire plumbing system. These leaks need to be tended to regularly by checking the valves on your pipes and the plumbing system, there may be a flaw that was previously addressed but only repaired and not replaced. Active leaks need to be repaired immediately. While our contractors repair your active leak an assessment is done to see if your system has any other leaks that cannot be seen.
Water pressure Your water pressure should be checked regularly and needs to meet the standards of your residential or commercial area. Your water pressure may reduce pressure overtime if your plumbing system is not repaired and maintained. Your water pressure should not be higher than 80psi or lower than 40 psi. Higher pressure levels are usually found on the lower levels of a building while lower pressures are found higher in the building when the building you are in has multiple stories. Lower water pressure can result in an unhappy customer, whereas a higher water pressure can cause damage to your water pipes.
Check drains All drains in your building or your household should be checked for drain flow. Slow drains or clogged drains should be power rodded to restore the flow of your drain flow. You can read more about power rodding on our website, if your clogged drains are not power rodded they will be hydro jetted to restore the power of your drain flow. This is why we encourage our customers to have their drains maintained and cleaned regularly. When it comes to your drains you need to be cautious about what you are throwing down your drain and how your drain is maintained.
Backflow testing If you are in a commercial building, or a building with multiple levels it is required for your drains to be assessed for backflow to prevent your drain system from clogging up and water running back and up your plumbing system. Your drains need to be maintained carefully when you are in a commercial building as all commercial building are set with a backflow system to prevent unwanted chemicals and substances to be sent back into your plumbing system and possibly contaminating the entire plumbing system of the commercial building. Our professionals are equipped with the tools to maintain and service your backflow testing or any backflow that may present it.
