Prevent costly issues

Find small problems before they flood.

Leaks, slow drains and worn parts rarely announce themselves. A yearly tune-up catches them early, before they turn into water damage or an emergency call.

Why is it free? We believe in supporting our community, and catching problems early is better for everyone. Your plumber inspects, explains and recommends. What happens next is up to you.

  • Whole-home visual inspection
  • Water hardness & chlorine test
  • Water heater check

What's included

Seven checks in every tune-up.

Your plumber works through the same list in every home.

  • Whole-system inspection

    A visual check of your home's plumbing for early signs of trouble.

  • Water quality test

    Hardness and chlorine levels, to spot scale and water issues early.

  • All drains

    Checked for blockages or problems before they back up.

  • All pumps

    Sump and other pumps checked for working condition.

  • Emergency shut-off valves

    So you can quickly shut off the water if you ever need to.

  • Toilets

    Every toilet checked for proper flushing.

  • Water heater

    Inspected for sediment and leaks, and flushed if it's safe to do so.

After the tune-up

Clear findings, no pressure.

When the tune-up is done, your plumber goes over every finding and recommendation with you.

If there's anything you want us to take care of, we can usually do it the same day, with an up-front estimate before any work starts.

Tankless water heaters aren't part of the free tune-up, but your plumber can walk you through tankless maintenance options.

What a tune-up can catch

Small problems we find early.

Most are simple fixes when they're caught early. Left alone, they can end in a flooded basement or a middle-of-the-night call.

  • Slow or partial clogsDrains that are starting to back up, found before they stop.
  • Hidden dripsSmall leaks under sinks and at fittings that waste water and damage cabinets.
  • Hard water scaleHigh hardness builds scale in pipes, fixtures and your water heater.
  • Stuck shut-off valvesA valve that won't turn is no help in an emergency.
  • Running toiletsA toilet that doesn't flush or fill properly wastes water every day.
  • Water heater sedimentSediment and early leaks shorten a water heater's life.

Your water quality test

Know what's in your water.

Every tune-up includes a test for hardness and chlorine. Chicago-area water runs moderately hard, and those minerals leave scale in pipes, on fixtures and inside your water heater.

If your results show a problem, your plumber can explain your options, from a water softener or filtration system to simply flushing your water heater more often.
