Preventive Plumbing Maintenance and Inspections in Greenfield, IN

With plumbing, not every failure goes without warning, but those warning signs are often in places you don’t check. The only way you found out is after the damage is done: water on the floor, a flooded basement, a burst pipe, or not hot water on a cold morning. A plumbing maintenance visit every year catches them. It also catches them early enough to prevent a lot of the most extensive (and expensive) damage.

Jake’s Heating, Air & Plumbing has been helping out our Greenfield neighbors since 2006, and since then, we’ve proudly helped them make sure their plumbing’s in tip-top shape. Water heater flushes, testing water pressure, inspecting sump pumps, and checking drains, we do it all and then some!

What Does a Plumbing Maintenance Visit Cover?

Plumbers in Greenfield don’t simply come to your home and give everything a glance to see if it’s working right. The team at Jake’s goes a step further.

Here’s what we cover:

• We check all fixtures, faucets, and supply lines for any leaks
• Plumbers will test your water pressure and water heater to see if it’s working correctly
• We flush your water heater to clear any lingering hard-water sediment
• Plumbers from Jake’s inspect/test the sump pump before the spring rains come through
• We check your drains for any slow flow and early clog buildup
• We check for exposed pipes for corrosion and/or freeze risk
• We’ll test the shutoff valves so they work when you need them in a pinch (burst pipes, flooding, etc.)
• And we’ll look over the toilet’s fill and flush parts

And with Jake’s, there’s an easy way to stay on schedule: our VIP maintenance plan, which includes a water heater flush + whole-home plumbing inspection (which includes sewer camera inspections).

Why Greenfield Homeowners Schedule Yearly Plumbing Maintenance

Why does a yearly plumbing maintenance visit matter so much?

• You can avoid surprise floods by having a plumber spot any pinhole leaks or failing valves that could lead to burst pipes and a ruined floor.
• You can extend the lifespan of your water heater, since flushing the hard water minerals from your plumbing will keep it running smoothly, hopefully for more years to come.
• A sump pump that’ll actually work when you need it, in Indiana’s wet springs and summer storms.
• Lower bills, since small leaks and running toilets running quietly in the background will rack up your water bills in short order.

Greenfield Plumbing Maintenance FAQs

How often should I have my plumbing inspected?

Once a year is right for most Greenfield homes. Older homes near downtown, if your home’s on well water, or if you’ve had a lot of leaks may benefit from two plumbing maintenance visits a year from the team at Jake’s. We can actually work out a maintenance plan to make scheduling a breeze.

Do I really need my water heater flushed?

Yes, and especially here in Indiana. Our water here in Greenfield is regularly measuring in at around 15 to 20+ grains per gallon, which is extremely hard. All those minerals (mostly magnesium and calcium) actually settle at the bottom of your tank and smother the components, making your water heater work twice as hard to heat your water the same way. That’ll lead to it wearing out much quicker than it should, too. The crew at Jake’s can flush your water heater every year when we come over for a plumbing inspection/maintenance.

Why should I test my sump pump if it’s working fine?

Because it has a really big chance of failing at the worst time: mid-storm or when your basement’s already starting to fill up from a spring storm. If you test it during the dry season, that’s when you can confirm the float, switch, and backup are ready to go when you need them. If your sump pump’s sitting unused for months, the likelier it’ll be for it to seize up without prior warning.
