Plumbing Maintenance & Inspections in Bessemer, AL

Most plumbing emergencies start as small problems nobody saw – a slow drip under a vanity, a water heater full of sediment, a stiff shut-off valve that will not close when you need it. A plumbing inspection and regular maintenance catch those problems early, extend the life of your water heater and fixtures and keep your water bill in check. We maintain the plumbing of homes, rentals, churches and businesses in Bessemer, Hueytown, McCalla, Hoover and the surrounding area.

• Water heater – flush sediment, test the relief valve, check the anode rod, burner or elements and venting.
• Leaks – look under every sink and around toilets, tubs and the water heater; check the meter for hidden leaks.
• Water pressure – measure it and check the pressure-reducing valve; too much pressure shortens the life of everything.
• Valves – exercise the main and fixture shut-offs so they work in an emergency.
• Drains – test the flow of every drain, clean traps where needed.
• Toilets – check for silent leaks, worn flappers and loose bases.
• Washer hoses, outdoor faucets, sump pump and visible piping in the crawlspace or basement.

You get a short written list of what we found – what is fine, what to watch and what we recommend fixing, with a price.

Buying an older home in Bessemer, Fairfield or Hueytown? A plumbing inspection tells you what kind of pipes the house has, how old the water heater is and whether the sewer line needs work – before you sign. Add a sewer camera inspection for the full picture.

For rental properties, restaurants, offices and churches we offer scheduled maintenance that keeps fixtures working, grease and drain lines flowing and surprises to a minimum. See commercial plumbing.
