How often do you need to maintain plumbing?

Be sure to include a professional inspection or have an expert perform regular preventive maintenance. A good general guideline is once every two years for a newer system. If you live in an older home or needed frequent adjustments or repairs throughout the year, an annual program might be best. Most professional plumbers agree that pipe maintenance should be performed annually.

At most, no two years should go by without having your home's plumbing system checked. But as you already know, pipes are extensive and encompass several systems, unlike other household systems. In addition, they don't have a specific station where they are under more pressure. For that reason, it's difficult to prescribe the best time to schedule maintenance. The essential part is maintaining consistency in the regular maintenance of the plumbing system.

Because of their complex and high-use plumbing systems, commercial and industrial properties need more frequent maintenance. Biannual or even quarterly checks may be required to keep the business running and protect property. The frequency of inspections depends on several factors, including the age of your plumbing system and the type of materials used. A professional inspection is generally recommended at least once a year. However, older homes or those with known plumbing issues may require more frequent revisions.

By scheduling regular inspections, you can anticipate potential problems and ensure that your plumbing system is kept in good condition. Routine checks provide valuable information about the condition of your pipes and allow for timely interventions.
