Professional Plumbing Maintenance Services in Santa Fe

As with all types of preventative maintenance, plumbing tune-ups should be something you do regularly to catch small problems before they turn into major, expensive issues.

Additional benefits of routine plumbing maintenance include helping you conserve water and save money on energy bills. Did you know that a moderate toilet leak typically wastes about 6,000 gallons of water per month? That means over the course of a year you would spend $1,000 extra! That can really start to add up.

We can provide maintenance services for a variety of plumbing components, including:

Why Plumbing Maintenance Matters

Importance of Plumbing Maintenance

Regular plumbing maintenance is essential for keeping your plumbing system running smoothly. Scheduling check-ups helps catch minor issues before they become major problems, saving you time, money, and stress.

Benefits of Regular Maintenance

  1. Conserves Water: Identifies leaks and inefficiencies, reducing water waste.
  2. Lowers Energy Costs: Ensures your water heater and fixtures operate efficiently, which can decrease your energy bills.
  3. Increases Home Value: A well-maintained plumbing system is attractive to prospective buyers, enhancing your home’s overall value.

Peace of Mind

When you schedule regular maintenance with professionals, you can relax knowing that your plumbing is in good hands. This proactive approach helps ensure comfort in your home and prevents future issues.

Hydro Jetting: A Smart Preventative Measure

Hydro jetting is not just for fixing problems; it’s also a great way to prevent them. Using high-pressure water, we clean your pipes of buildup and debris, such as mineral scale and tree roots. This helps keep your plumbing clear and functional, avoiding costly clogs down the road.

Common Plumbing Issues and How to Spot Them

Being aware of common plumbing issues can help you identify problems early and seek professional assistance before they worsen. Some frequent plumbing issues include:

  • Leaky Faucets and Fixtures: Dripping faucets can waste gallons of water over time. If you notice a constant drip or pooling water around fixtures, it’s time for a repair.
  • Clogged Drains: Slow drainage or frequent backups can indicate a clog in the pipes. Regular drain cleaning and maintenance can prevent major blockages.
  • Running Toilets: A toilet that runs continuously may signal a malfunctioning flapper or fill valve, leading to unnecessary water waste.
  • Low Water Pressure: Sudden drops in water pressure can suggest pipe leaks or mineral buildup. Monitoring water pressure can help you address these issues promptly.

Recognizing these signs and scheduling maintenance can help you avoid costly repairs and keep your plumbing system in top shape.

DIY Maintenance Tips for Homeowners

While professional plumbing maintenance is crucial, there are several DIY steps homeowners can take to maintain their plumbing systems between professional visits:

  1. Regularly Check for Leaks: Periodically inspect faucets, toilets, and exposed pipes for signs of leaks. Addressing leaks early can save water and prevent damage.
  2. Maintain Your Water Heater: Flushing your water heater annually helps remove sediment buildup, improving efficiency and extending its lifespan.
  3. Clear Drains: Use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar to help clear minor clogs and maintain drain health. Avoid chemical drain cleaners, which can be harmful to your plumbing.
  4. Insulate Pipes: Insulating exposed pipes can prevent freezing in colder months and reduce heat loss, improving energy efficiency.
  5. Know Your Shut-off Valves: Familiarize yourself with the location of your main water shut-off valve. In case of an emergency, knowing how to quickly shut off the water can prevent significant damage.

Implementing these tips can help you maintain a functional plumbing system and prevent future issues.

    "Excellent work"
    Our heat went out late Saturday night - We called Capitol Plumbing and the crew, two men, Xavier and Alex, were here early Sunday morning. The furnace was removed and by 6:00 pm the new furnace was up and working - The heat was on and the house warmed up quite fast. Xavier and Alex were friendly and worked very efficiently replacing the old furnace. They were very helpful and informative and explained everything about the new furnace and answered all our questions. When crew had completed the job, they waited until the temperature was up to the degrees necessary for furnace to work. Thank you for a job well-done and I would recommend Capitol Plumbing and Heating in Santa Fe to anyone who needs plumbing work done. Thank you, we are once again warm and cozy.

    "Emergency service was also quick and efficient and very Professional."
    Xavior, arrived at a much needed time to fix our leak. He was fast to detect the leak and addressed the situation in a professional manner. It was late and after hours but he was not hurried and explained what happened, what he did and what has yet to be done. If you are not using them or need good service we recommend them, they responded among the many we tried to reach, so they will have our business for some time to come. Thank you for relieving our problem and minds.

    "Service with humor!"
    After being stood up by another plumber we called Paul's Plumbing & Heating, Inc. They contacted Xavier and Beto from Capitol Plumbing and Heating who fixed our outdoor faucet, which would not turn off. Xavier explained everything and showed us the process. He was professional, witty, and patient with my questions. I highly recommend them and am also impressed Paul's Plumbing contacted them since they didn't have any available crews. Both companies have customers' best interests in mind.

    "Very happy with Xavior and Capitol"
    My kitchen sink x2 was hopelessly plugged up. Filthy water that had backed up was just sitting there. That is so unhealthy. I called Capitol this morning and they said they'd send out a serviceman in a couple of hours, which they did. Xavior came by and did a great job. He was polite, knowledgeable, smart and neat....no mess left behind for me! And best of all, the drains are running perfectly! Capitol has also installed my furnace and water tank, all within the last year or so (3/2021). And I am VERY pleased with that result as well....thanks to Adrian for that....great job.
    - Xavior did a great job
    "$1200.00"
    Both Tomas and Xavier Martinez were prompt and courteous. They went beyond what was a leaking hot water valve. After replacing the valve and water line hose, they checked the boiler system and found it was not properly operating and took care of it for us. We were thankful for their thoroughness and quick service.

    "Excellent friendly knowledgeable service."
    Had them install a complete new system for heating water and and radiant heat system. Went to a tankless hot water system. They worked very efficiently and wasted no time installing the system. Workers were friendly and explained everything about the equipment and answered my questions since I was not familiar with the tankless hot water system and the radiant heat used in homes. They hauled away the old tank and boiler and a soft water system that was out dated. It took about two days but the water was only off for part of the first day and we had hot water that night for showering. Over all a very positive experience and I would highly recommend Capitol Plumbing & Heating of Santa Fe for all your plumbing needs.
