How to judge plumbing work

Most plumbing emergencies are the visible end of a slow problem: a supply line that has been weeping behind drywall, a water heater whose anode rod gave up years ago, or a drain line that has been narrowing with scale. The value of a good plumber is largely in catching the slow version before it becomes the loud one.

Water pressure, pipe material and water chemistry interact more than most homeowners expect. Hard water shortens fixture life; pressure above roughly 80 psi stresses every joint in a house. Asking what a plumber measures — not just what they replace — is a fair way to judge one.

Common service intervals for household plumbing (general maintenance guidance, not a service promise)

Component	Typical service interval	Why it matters
Water heater flush	Annually	Sediment reduces efficiency and shortens tank life
Anode rod check	2–4 years	A spent rod moves corrosion to the tank itself
Supply hoses (washer)	Replace every 5 years	Burst hoses are a leading cause of water damage
Main shutoff exercise	Annually	A seized valve turns a small leak into a large one
Drain line inspection	As symptoms appear	Slow drains often precede a full blockage
