Preventive Home Care Program

NRH Plumbing Preventive Home Care assists in maintaining your plumbing system by offering a yearly tune up. We will visit your home once a year to inspect and maintain your entire plumbing system. Maintaining your plumbing system is crucial in preventing any hidden leaks or problems that could be costly if not detected sooner.

Services included on a yearly basis are:

Water Heater Inspection: We will examine the efficiency of your unit’s pressure relief valve and thermostat.

Toilet Inspection: We will make sure your toilet is properly maintained against leaks. Much like a leaky faucet, several gallons of water each day are wasted if unattended.

Faucet Inspection: Did you know that a leaking faucet can waste hundreds of gallons of water per week?

Shutoff Valve Inspection: During an emergency leak, you will need to know where your main water shutoff valve is located and if it functions properly. Our technicians will examine all your shutoff valves to make sure they are reliable in case of emergency.

Additional Plumbing Protection: We will inspect your water pressure, gas connectors, and hoses on your appliances

Schedule an appointment today to discuss the NRH Preventive Home Care Program with one of our technicians.

Dave with NRH plumbing was very helpful in solving our plumbing problems.

He goes the extra mile and did a great job!


Angie T.

New water softener and whole house filter. No pressure, friendly

and spent time explaining things and educating us as well as answering other unrelated plumbing questions. Timely and efficient install and no hiccups. Thanks Dave and Drew!


Sherri D.

My laundry room floor drain was clogged. Sam and John came out to fix the problem

and they were so friendly and professional. I had tried to fix the problem myself with a snake, which actually did fix some of it, but they made sure it was completely fixed. John gave me some advice on what to do so it won't happen again, and left me with a can koozie and a $25.00 gift card.

If I ever hear of anyone needing plumbing services, I would be happy to recommend NRH Plumbing.
