🚨 This is why water heater maintenance matters.

What started as a routine service call quickly turned into a conversation about something most homeowners never think about bacteria growth inside plumbing systems and water heaters.

When water sits in the right temperature range for too long, conditions can allow bacteria like Legionella to grow. That’s one reason proper water heater setup, maintenance, and operation are so important.

In this video we go over:
✔️ Why temperature matters
✔️ Why neglected systems can become a problem
✔️ What plumbers look for during maintenance
✔️ Why “saving energy” the wrong way can create issues

Most homeowners never hear about this side of plumbing until there’s a serious problem.

🚨 This is the kind of thing homeowners never see behind the scenes on plumbing jobs.

We were working 26 floors up in a high rise when we went to shut off the water heater… and the shutoff valve literally broke apart.

Luckily we were able to get the main water shut down quickly before it turned into a much bigger problem.

Situations like this are exactly why experience matters in plumbing especially in older buildings and high-rise systems where one small issue can escalate fast.

A lot of the job is being able to react quickly, prevent damage, and solve problems safely when things don’t go as planned.

Before calling a plumber for a garbage disposal issue, there are a couple simple things you can try first.

A humming noise usually means it’s jammed, and no noise at all can often be fixed with a reset.

These are two of the first things we check on a service call, and sometimes it’s all it takes to get things working again.

If it’s still not working or you see any leaking go ahead and reach out and we’ll take care of it.

Would you warranty this? 🤔

We got called out for a backed up drain here in Saginaw, TX and this is what we pulled out…

A lot of products are labeled “flushable,” but they don’t break down like toilet paper and can easily cause blockages like this.

We cleared the line and ran a camera to make sure everything was flowing properly but when items like this are the cause, it’s not something that can be warrantied.

The good news this is one of the most preventable plumbing issues we see.

If you’re dealing with a clogged drain or backup, we’re here to help.

A recent video about testing T&P valves during water heater maintenance started quite a debate.

Some plumbers say not to touch them because they’re “one-time use”… so we decided to test one several times.

As you can see, it opens and reseals just like it’s designed to do.

Manufacturers actually recommend testing these valves periodically to make sure they open and reseat properly. If they don’t, that’s when you know the valve needs to be replaced.

Some plumbers argue that you shouldn’t test the T&P valve during water heater maintenance because it could start leaking.

But this valve is one of the most important safety devices on your water heater. If it isn’t working properly, the tank has no way to relieve dangerous pressure.

In this job, the valve wasn’t releasing any water at all meaning it couldn’t do its job if it was ever needed. After replacing it, we found buildup that was preventing it from working properly.

This is why we check them during maintenance. It’s not just about flushing the heater it’s about making sure the safety devices are functioning too.

We found a leaking Qest (polybutylene) water service line at the meter in Fort Worth.

Instead of trenching through the driveway and garage, we performed a water line pull — installing a brand-new line through the existing path with minimal digging.

If your water meter is spinning when no fixtures are running, you may have an underground leak.

Most would solder it straight back on. We install a threaded adapter so the next replacement doesn’t require a torch against the house. Small detail. Big difference.
