Dancor Plumbing and Heating | Plumbing Services in Fall River, MA 02721

Our comprehensive plumbing inspection is designed to give you peace of mind. We thoroughly check your home's water supply and drainage systems, inspect fixtures for leaks, assess water pressure, and examine visible pipes for signs of corrosion or damage. For Fall River residents, we pay special attention to areas prone to local issues, like water heater sediment buildup and outdoor faucet vulnerability to freezing. The goal is to identify small problems before they become major repairs, providing you with a clear, prioritized list of any recommendations.

Preventing frozen outdoor faucets is a common concern here in Fall River. The most effective step is to disconnect and drain garden hoses before winter and shut off the water supply valve inside your home that feeds the outdoor faucet, then open the outdoor spigot to let any remaining water drain out. For a more permanent solution, we can install frost-proof sillcocks, which are designed to prevent freezing. During a routine plumbing inspection, we can assess your current setup and advise on the best preventative measures for your specific property.

Yes, we strongly recommend regular maintenance for water heaters, especially in our area where sediment from the water supply can accumulate and reduce efficiency. We do not have a rigid subscription plan, but we can schedule annual maintenance visits. This service includes draining the tank to flush out sediment, checking the anode rod, inspecting valves and connections, and testing the temperature and pressure relief valve. This proactive care can extend the life of your water heater, improve its performance, and help avoid unexpected breakdowns.
