Proper plumbing maintenance can extend the shelf life of your plumbing system as a whole. It has been documented that the average lifespan of plumbing systems is between 17 and 100 years. Part of the longevity of a plumbing system is proper maintenance. For proper maintenance, it is best to seek assistance from a professional plumbing company.

The Benefits of Hiring a Professional to maintain your plumbing system
Keen Eye
When you hire a professional plumber to care for your plumbing system, you can rest assured knowing that they know what they’re doing. Plumbing is a complex system with many different parts and features. DIY maintenance and amateur may be able to prevent some plumbing disasters from occurring, however, it is nothing compared to what a professional can do for you. A professional plumber must undergo training. In this training, they learn everything about plumbing, how it works and how to fix it. They also learn how to detect problems. Professionals learn this from a master plumber or another plumbing expert. With years of experience and knowledge being passed down, a professional and licensed plumbing company can fix or find nearly any plumbing problem you may have.
Better Drainage
When you hire a professional maintenance plumber for preventive maintenance services you should get a drain cleaning once or even twice a year. Professional drain cleaning services will help prevent clogging from occurring, which will help protect the drain, as well as prevent costly clog removal and repairs.
Professional drain cleaning service is typically done with some sort of hydro jet or powerful water spray. Unlike chemical drain cleaners, this method of cleaning can completely clear out your drains. Chemical drain cleaners like Drano, do not always clear out the entire clog. Chemical drain cleaners can also lead to serious drain damage over time. The best way to handle clogging is by preventing it from occurring. In the first place with professional drain cleaning.
If you have issues with frequent clogging, you should contact your local plumbing to schedule periodic, drain cleaning services. A periodic drain cleaning service will prevent or reduce the number of clogs you experience.
Water Heater Longevity and Protection
The water heater is an extremely important appliance. These appliances generate and store hot water. The most commonly used water heater is the conventional or storage-tank water heater. This water heating appliance is quite large due to its large tank. Most tanks hold around 40 to 60 gallons of water. These appliances need to be flushed at least once or twice a year in order to run properly and efficiently.
The more modern water heater tanks are much studier and surrounded by insulation to prevent leaking and other tank issues from occurring, however, these issues can sometimes be inevitable. In the case of a water heater tank malfunction, you should contact your local plumber for urgent service.
Tank leaks and cracks are almost 100 percent avoidable. Many tank leaks or tank cracks are created by accumulating sediment. Sediment is created by the accumulation and clumping together of minerals present in the water. This sediment will knock around the inside of water heater tanks, causing damage, and eventually an opening. Once there is a crack or leak in your water heater tank, you will need to replace it. To prevent this from occurring you should have it flushed at least once a year.
Fewer Breaks Downs
With periodic inspection and maintenance of your plumbing system, you will experience fewer plumbing malfunctions and failures. A perfect example of this benefit is the reduction is clogged drains with periodic drain cleaning. Other issues are also less likely to occur under the careful guise of a professional and licensed plumber.
A professional plumbing technician will be able to find issues by running diagnostics. Once an anomaly or issue is found, your professional plumber can simply repair or replace the faulty or malfunctioning aspect.
Extended Lifespan
The lifespan of the plumbing system is somewhat reliant on the plumbing materials. How long your plumbing system lasts is more dependent on how well you care for it. Well, maintained plumbing systems add value to your property and have fewer issues, while neglected plumbing systems can cause a property to lose value. This is in part due to the short lifespan of neglected plumbing systems. When a plumbing system is well maintained, it will last for a very long time, and therefore, your money can go further and longer than it would have otherwise.
