ALPHARETTA, GEORGIA. (September 8, 2011). Pete’s Plumbing Inc., a family-owned and operated full-service residential and commercial plumbing company that serves Alpharetta, Georgia and nearby areas, is helping homeowners and businesses prepare for the upcoming season by providing professional plumbing inspections and winterizing solutions.
With fall only a few short weeks away, it’s important to make sure your plumbing is ready for the season. Freezing temperatures and other inclement weather conditions can have a devastating and costly impact on improperly prepared homes and businesses. Pete’s Plumbing offers fall plumbing inspections performed by trained and certified expert plumbers. These inspections can help detect potential problems and suggest the best corrective or preventative measures to take.
There are a variety of particular issues it’s important to find and repair before cold weather sets in, such as leaks and uninsulated pipes. Water heaters are especially vulnerable to winter conditions, partially because water heaters work harder in the colder months. Sediment can build up and cause corrosion, which not only reduces efficiency, but this also reduces the water heater’s life span. A water heater’s pressure valve should also be checked. If the valve hasn’t been tested and your water heater is more than five years old, it should be checked by a professional. Checking the valve can be a dangerous prospect and can even cause damage if not done properly, making it even more important that the check be done by a professional.
“With customers still feeling high temperatures and summer heat, getting plumbing ready for the fall and winter is usually not high on the priority list,” explained Julie Lippitt, President of Pete’s Plumbing. “But, if we take the time to do plumbing inspections now, our customers will save time and money down the line.”
Lippitt continued, “While homeowners and businesses can and certainly should do self-inspections for leaks and bare pipes, Pete’s Plumbing can come in and do a thorough inspection of the entire plumbing system. This might uncover potential problems areas that would have been easily overlooked otherwise. Our professional inspections do more than just check out a customer’s plumbing; they give our customers peace of mind – and that’s priceless.”
