Plumbing Maintenance in Tinley Park, IL

In a subdivision where every house was built in the same few years, the plumbing tends to wear out on the same schedule. A whole-home inspection tells you what's close to the end before it fails. From our office on 185th Street.

What We Check

What a Plumbing Inspection Covers

A maintenance visit looks at the whole house:

Water Heater

Age, leaks, the relief valve and sediment, plus a flush if it's due. See water heater repair.

Sump and Ejector Pumps

A test cycle, the float, check valve and backup. See sump pumps.

Drains and Sewer

Slow drains, gurgling and a camera inspection if anything looks off.

Fixtures and Valves

Faucets, toilets, shutoffs and supply lines.

Spigots and Exposed Pipes

Freeze risk in garages, crawl spaces and spigot lines.

Local Knowledge

Why Maintenance Matters in Tinley Park Homes

The median Tinley Park home was built in 1987, and about 87% are owner-occupied. Equipment that came with the house is past its expected life in most of them.

The Equipment Clock

Water heaters last about 8 to 12 years and sump pumps around 7 to 10. A home from the 1980s or 1990s may be on its third heater and second or third sump pump, or still running an original one.

Before Storm Season

A sump pump test and a sewer check in early spring are the best protection against storms like April 2013.

Before Winter

A fall visit covers spigots, exposed pipes and the water heater before the first deep freeze.

Plumbing Maintenance Questions From Tinley Park Homeowners

Once a year, ideally in spring or fall.

Once a year is a good rule. Spring is best for the sump pump and sewer line, fall for spigots and the water heater.

The water heater, sump pump and ejector pump, then the sewer line.

Start with the equipment that wears out: the water heater, the sump pump and, if you have a basement bathroom, the ejector pump. Then have the sewer line checked, since roots from mature trees are common. A whole-home inspection covers it all in one visit.
