Routine Checkups Keep Things Flowing Along
Happy April! Between the Coachella Festival, Stagecoach and countless other events and attractions throughout the Palm Springs area—not to mention the warming temps—spring is a pretty great time to be a Southern Californian! This season, we hope you are able to take advantage of some of the fabulous local offerings and that you get the chance to explore the stunning and varied landscape we are all lucky enough to call our backyard.
Spring is traditionally when we start thinking about renewal and rebirth … and spring cleaning. For many, the idea of spring cleaning also extends to getting your home on track for peak efficiency and functionality. We talk a lot about maintenance for your cooling and heating systems, but plumbing maintenance is just as important for keeping your home running safely and efficiently. For expert plumbing repair in Palm Springs, look no further than the Timo’s team when you’re ready for a checkup.
Great Plumbing Doesn’t Have to Be a Pipe Dream
While there are a lot of wonderful things about living where we do, one thing that isn’t so great is how our environment and climate contribute to frequent plumbing problems (more on this below). So, having your plumbing checked by a trained professional is especially important in ensuring your home’s plumbing is up to par and there are no issues lurking. Here’s what routine plumbing checks can do for you:
- Nip it in the bud. We say it all the time: Catch small problems before they turn into big problems. Your plumbing is no different. Thanks to seismic activity, shifting soil, the hardness of California’s water and more, pipe corrosion and leaks are more prevalent in this area than in others. A small leak can seem like no big deal, until you’re met at the door with a flooded home. And then later met at the mailbox with a huge bill. The Timo’s pros can perform leak detection services[LINK TO https://timos.com/plumbing/leak-detection/] so you can be confident that water is flowing only where it should be.
- What’s that flying out the window? Could it be your hard-earned cash? If your water bill has risen sharply, this can be traced to an undetected leaking pipe, running toilet, leaky faucet or other plumbing-efficiency issue. When your plumbing runs efficiently, it’s not only good for your wallet—it’s also great for California’s water conservation efforts! If you can’t pinpoint why you’re experiencing an increase in your water bill, contact Timo’s for an assessment!
- Live long and prosper. Turns out, Spock was right. About a lot of things, actually. But for our purposes, routine checkups extend the life of your equipment, including your pipes and hot water heater. In addition, the hardness of SoCal’s water can lead to a premature end for other appliances in your home, such as dishwashers, washing machines and refrigerators. If hard water is a problem, speak to the experts at Timo’s about environmentally friendly hard water solutions.
- No bending these rules. California has stringent rules and regulations for everything from water conservation to safety standards to the kind of equipment you can install. And we’re glad they do! These regulations help the environment and put the safety of Californians front and center. Codes and requirements change quickly, however, and there sometimes can be fines associated with noncompliance. A trusted plumbing professional can let you know if you are in violation of any of these stipulations and guide you toward rule-following solutions.
