Maintenance for Older and Newer Elmhurst Homes
A 1950s ranch and a 2010 new build need different attention. In the older home, we look closely at the sewer line, galvanized pipe and old shutoff valves. In the newer home, we focus on the water heater, sump and ejector pumps and fixtures that hard water wears down. Either way, a yearly visit means fewer surprises and a clear list of what's coming.
What's in Your Checkup Report
After the visit, you get a short written summary. Each system is marked as fine, worth watching or needing attention, with notes on age and condition. If something needs work, you get a flat price for it. Nothing is done without your approval, and you can schedule repairs when it suits you.

"For our no drip club maintenance Christian went above and beyond ! Would choose him and Blanton time and time again!"
★★★★★
"I had a camera inspection as well as a Hydrojet cleaning, rod, and flush of my 70' main 6" sewer line... The camera inspection was done by George and Raul. They were prompt, professional, and detailed with the description of the process... we were able to see together where the problems were in the main and at what specific distances. I was given several options for resolution on the spot with price quotes up front."
★★★★★
"Andrew provided excellent service and thorough explanation during semi-annual inspection today. Thank you!"
