Catch Small Problems Before Pipes Burst

Preventative plumbing maintenance services for residential and commercial properties in Andalusia and surrounding areas.

You notice a slow drain in the kitchen sink, a toilet that runs longer than it should, or a water heater that takes longer to heat up in South Alabama. These minor issues rarely feel urgent, but each one signals wear or buildup that will eventually lead to a more expensive repair or replacement. The Plumbing Company LLC provides scheduled plumbing maintenance that identifies small problems before they cause leaks, backups, or system failures, helping you avoid emergency calls and extend the lifespan of your fixtures, drains, and water-using appliances.


Maintenance visits include inspecting visible piping for corrosion or leaks, testing water pressure and temperature, checking drain flow, and examining fixtures for worn seals or faulty mechanisms. South Alabama homes with older plumbing systems benefit from regular inspections that catch issues early, especially in areas prone to mineral buildup or pipe corrosion. Property managers and business owners also use maintenance services to keep restrooms, kitchens, and utility areas functioning without disruption.

What Gets Checked During a Maintenance Visit

A maintenance visit in South Alabama begins with a visual inspection of accessible plumbing lines, fixtures, and appliances. The Plumbing Company LLC checks for dripping faucets, running toilets, slow drains, and signs of moisture around water heaters, washing machine connections, and under sinks. Water pressure is tested at multiple fixtures to identify restrictions or leaks, and drain flow is assessed to detect early buildup before it causes a full blockage.


After the inspection, you receive a summary of any issues found and recommendations for repairs or replacements. Small problems like worn faucet washers or loose supply lines are often addressed on the spot, while larger concerns are scheduled for follow-up service.


Maintenance does not include emergency repairs or major replacements, but it does help you plan for those needs before they become urgent. Regular visits are especially useful for rental properties, multi-unit buildings, and commercial spaces where plumbing problems can disrupt operations or affect multiple occupants.

Why do drains slow down over time?
Drains slow down due to buildup of hair, soap scum, grease, and mineral deposits that accumulate on pipe walls. Regular maintenance includes inspecting drain flow and clearing minor buildup before it hardens into a full blockage.
