Plumbing Maintenance
To ensure the longest life possible for any part of your New Jersey plumbing, it’s essential to perform regular maintenance on it. Being sure your pipes and plumbing fixtures are in working order isn’t all that different from regular oil changes for your car.
Keeping all parts clean and checking for wear and tear goes a long way in extending a life span. Some you can do on your own, but much of it requires a professional’s expertise. Preventative maintenance goes a long way for second homes, rental properties, and year-round homes here in Egg Harbor Township.
At Broadley's Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, we recommend regular plumbing maintenance. The plumbing services we consider as maintenance services are our plumbing inspections, backflow preventions and tests, winterization, and summer preparation.
Plumbing Inspections in Ocean City
Most Ocean City home plumbing systems most likely won’t attract your attention until there’s a major problem with faucets, water lines, drains, or toilets. That’s always unfortunate because our Broadley’s Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning plumbers can typically detect problems early and repair them quicker with regular inspections.
Our plumbing tune-ups and service plans include:
- Maintenance for standard and tankless water heaters
- Checks for leaks, corrosion, and other damage
- Checking draining on tubs, toilets, and sinks
When we inspect your South Jersey home’s plumbing system, our licensed plumbers will conduct a comprehensive inspection of your New Jersey home generally including your home’s:
- Water heater
- Kitchen—garbage disposal, dishwasher, sink, faucets, drains, and more
- Bathroom—toilet, sinks, faucets, tub/shower connections, drains, showerheads, shut-offs, and plumbing installations
- Toilets
- Faucets
- Exposed water lines
- Piping
- Drains
- Washing machine hoses and valves
Backflow Prevention and Tests
A backflow occurs when an event causes the water in the distribution system to flow backwards in your pipes, often resulting in water or chemicals from external sources getting into the system and contaminating it. This can happen if the pressure on the water supply line drops and allows outside fluids to siphon into the water line.
For example, a garden hose might be used to mix pesticides in a tank, and there’s a break in the water line upstream. The resulting loss of pressure would cause the contents of the pesticide tank to siphon back into the water pipes through the garden hose if there was no backflow preventer in place.
Another possible scenario is when high-pressure pumps connected to the water supply overcome the incoming water pressure and force the water to flow backwards through the piping, taking unwanted liquids with it.
Polluting a New Jersey community’s drinking water supply can bring serious and unpleasant consequences. Having your backflow devices evaluated by one of our Broadley’s Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning plumbers to help eliminate these potential liabilities.
Backflow prevention and testing is a topic you probably don’t think about until it’s too late.
