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)
ComponentTypical service intervalWhy it matters
Water heater flushAnnuallySediment reduces efficiency and shortens tank life
Anode rod check2–4 yearsA spent rod moves corrosion to the tank itself
Supply hoses (washer)Replace every 5 yearsBurst hoses are a leading cause of water damage
Main shutoff exerciseAnnuallyA seized valve turns a small leak into a large one
Drain line inspectionAs symptoms appearSlow drains often precede a full blockage
