Maintenance is essentially another term for prevention that often includes minor repairs. But it also means keeping a system in shape and detecting any faults early before they spiral out of control and cause damage that will lead to complicated repairs or replacement.
Whether you own a newer or an older home, your home's condition, and integrity are important. A great way to take care of it is by scheduling a regular appointment for maintenance. Pipes and fixtures all benefit from routine maintenance. Wondering what our team can do to keep your pipes in excellent condition? Here are a few services we provide to customers throughout calgary:
HydroScrub® Jetting – Drain Cleaning
Struggling with clogged drains? By far, drain cleaning is the most powerful way to give your pipes a deep clean. HydroScrub® Jetting gets rid of any debris that could lead to clogs and prevents damage that could cause water leaks.
Hydro jetting tools use incredibly high water pressure—up to 3,500 psi—to blast through even the most stubborn blockages and completely clean your pipes. It's essentially like hitting the reset button on your drains! This type of plumbing maintenance in calgary prevents slow drains and clogs from forming, which could lead to a serious plumbing problem like a burst pipe or flooding.
HydroScrub® Jetting Breaks Down:
- Tree roots in your sewer system
- Human waste
- Food waste, such as food scraps, grease, cooking oil, and coffee grounds
- Hair buildup
- Mineral deposits
- Soap scum
- Toilet paper clogs
- And more!
Video Camera Inspection
Expert plumbers in calgary used to have to dig up pipes to see what exactly was going on with them, but at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of calgary, our team uses cutting-edge drain camera inspection equipment instead.
Rather than digging or cutting, we'll use a small camera attached to the end of a long cable to take a look at your plumbing system. The camera captures video footage that can be used to diagnose plumbing issues like clogs, cracks, and corrosion. It's also an excellent tool to ensure there are no issues with your main water supply pipe or your main sewer line.
Not all appointments for plumbing maintenance in calgary include—or need—video camera inspection, but it’s a useful, non-invasive option for homeowners with serious problems deep in their pipes.
General Plumbing Maintenance in calgary
If you don’t remember when you last had service, but your plumbing system appears to be in working order, except for the occasional toilet backup, clogged sink, or leaky shower head that you fixed by yourself, it’s worth having a service technician do a plumbing diagnosis and inspection to ensure that we’re not missing any underlying issues within your overall drainage system.
Proper maintenance provided by a professional plumber is a key preventative measure to avoid problems with your system. With just one maintenance visit, our team will be able to establish the shape your pipes are in, troubleshoot issues before they worsen, and possibly save you from costly emergency plumbing services and repairs.
