Most emergency calls start as small problems that went unnoticed: a seized valve, a weeping fitting, a drain that has been slowing for months.
A maintenance visit is a practical way to check the parts of your system you rarely look at, and to prepare your home for Toronto's freeze-thaw seasons.
What a maintenance check can cover
- Main shut-off and fixture valves exercised and checked
- Visible supply lines and fittings inspected for leaks or corrosion
- Drains checked for slow flow
- Toilets checked for running and base leaks
- Outdoor hose bibs checked before winter
- Water heater area checked for leaks
