How Important Is Annual Plumbing Maintenance and What Steps Should I Take

Annual plumbing maintenance is essential for preventing costly repairs, improving water efficiency, and extending the life of your pipes, fixtures, and appliances. Proactive care helps catch small issues before they become major problems, protecting your home and budget.

Start by checking all visible pipes for corrosion, moisture, or leaks. Look under sinks, behind toilets, and around your water heater. Test all faucets and toilets for proper operation and inspect for slow drains, which could signal developing clogs.

Flush your water heater to remove sediment buildup that can reduce efficiency and lead to premature failure. Make sure shut-off valves operate smoothly, and inspect hoses on appliances like washing machines for cracks or signs of wear.

It’s also smart to schedule a professional inspection with A&G Plumbing and Drain. We can perform a full system check, test water pressure, evaluate drain flow, and spot hidden issues before they escalate.

With annual maintenance, you’ll enjoy peace of mind, better plumbing performance, and fewer unexpected emergencies throughout the year.
