Plumbing Maintenance Programs

Our Regular Maintenance Program Includes An Inspection Of Both Indoor and Outdoor Water Fixtures!

Pete’s Plumbing offers some wonderful quarterly maintenance programs. We also provide a winter maintenance inspection and service option for customers wanting to prevent pipe, fixture and home damage during Georgia’s coldest months. Our service is available to either residential or commercial clients. We highly recommend that you schedule and conduct regular maintenance inspections of your plumbing and sewer systems. This action can prevent some potentially expensive problems from occurring. Regular inspections can help you avoid expensive repairs due to worn out and/or malfunctioning plumbing. Contact us today if you are having issues with your plumbing. In case you haven’t heard – or maybe you’ve just been too busy racing back and forth to notice – fall is here and winter will be following hot (or rather, cold) on its heels pretty soon. Depending on where you live, that can mean quite a bit of work for you, especially if you’re set to expect plunging temperatures in the coming weeks.

Here are a few tips to get ready for the not-so-distant chill by winterizing your plumbing so that you limit the nightmare that frozen or burst pipes can cause.

Identify the Cold Spots

The first thing you’ll want to do is to identify all of the areas in and around your home that are likely to freeze during the winter months. Keep in mind that this includes any exterior walls that have little or no insulation as well as unheated crawl spaces. Once you’ve zeroed in on these areas, check them for their proximity to your home’s plumbing. If they’re clear of pipes, you can exclude these areas, but if there are any pipes within easy reach, taking preventative measures can save you precious time and money on emergency repairs.

Bundle ‘em Up

Once you’ve identified the sections of your home plumbing system that are directly in harm’s way from the ravages of the impending cold season, it’s time to bundle them up. You can accomplish this by physically wrapping your pipes in foam insulation tubes easily found at most hardware stores. If you’re convinced the Mother of All Winters is on her way (or if you’ve had an experience where your pipes have still frozen even through the foam), you can reinforce your efforts by putting heat tape underneath the tubing. Not exactly what it sounds like, heat tape is a cable that you fix in place directly onto your piping that physically heats up to prevent the pipes from freezing. It operates by being plugged into an electricity outlet. One of the drawbacks is that it can be substantially more time-consuming to install than standard foam insulation. However, for areas that see extreme cold, it may be strongly recommended.
