Imagine how much money goes down the drain (so to speak) if you don\u2019t have someone on call to come and fix the problem whenever you notice a drippy faucet or see a wet patch on your ceiling. This stuff will add up fast.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why so many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saddlebackplumbing.com\/plumbing\">plumbers <\/a>offer extended maintenance agreements to keep your fixtures and pipes on track. In most cases, these maintenance agreements are assigned to specific pieces of equipment such as your water heater, your toilet, your sinks and showers, or your pipes. However, there are many plumbers who offer full coverage of your home for a set annual fee. Let\u2019s take a closer look at what that would do for you.<\/p>\n<h3>Full Annual Coverage<\/h3>\n<p>If you pay for a full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saddlebackplumbing.com\/maintenance-programs\/plumbing-maintenance-program\">annual maintenance plan<\/a> for your home, it would cover yearly checkups of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Water heaters<\/li>\n<li>Radiant heating system<\/li>\n<li>Incoming water mains<\/li>\n<li>Pipe conditions<\/li>\n<li>Fixture and drain health<\/li>\n<li>Sewer and drain lines<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now, imagine how many years go between checkups of these things normally. When was the last time you had someone visit your home and check your drains for clogs or inspect your water main for stress and wear? Have you ever had it inspected?<\/p>\n<p>Most homeowners forget about their plumbing for years until it needs a repair or replacement. Replacing a toilet costs $400 or more. Replacing a water line in your house costs upwards of $3500. And if you need pipes replaced, it can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 depending on the size of your home.<\/p>\n<h3>The Annual Savings<\/h3>\n<p>For a small investment, you prolong the life of your plumbing by years and the cost of replacement will be negated by having small repairs completed on an annual basis. Simply having a leak patched or a clog cleared costs $100-$300 versus the thousands of dollars it will cost to replace something \u2013 all fantastic reasons to consider an annual maintenance plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Consider for a moment the cost of fixing a leaky pipe or a burst water main in your Balboa home.
