You love your home. It’s your steady rock in this world. That is until waves of plumbing issues hit you. You feel blindsided and stressed as the problems interrupt your plans and leave you with more bills to pay. So what can you do to protect your home? And what can you do to prepare for plumbing problems? We have a plan. A Home Protection Plan.

Imagine using your toilet like you always do. You flush it and think your business is over. So you continue with your day and head out to run some errands. That’s when you see it. A large stinking puddle of water is flooding your lawn. You frantically call up a plumber to fix it. Surely it’s just a leak, right? The plumber does their inspection as you watch them nervously. That’s when they find the last thing you’d ever imagine being in your pipes: Tree roots. Your stressed mind fires off questions at a rapid pace:

You’re enjoying a peaceful morning, leisurely eating your favorite breakfast, and catching up on the news. You decided to have some “me time” to start the day off right. Feeling refreshed and ready to start your day, you start on the dishes. BAM! Your day screeches to a halt as your drain bubbles with soggy bits of breakfast and foamy water.

You start your day groggy and in need of a shower. You turn the hot water knob, and streams of piping hot water blasts you in the face. Now in pain, you look to your showerhead—the water spurts everywhere when all you want is a relaxing, steady stream of water.

    Many questions will swirl around in your head before a plumbing appointment. How much will this cost me? Is my technician going to be knowledgeable? How long will this process take? Will they offer me a solution that meets my budget? Once you start thinking about the whole process, you won’t be able to stop.
