Rockville, MD -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/07/2018 -- To be surrounded by water on a tropical island is a luxury. But to be surrounded by water at home? It's a homeowner's worst nightmare.

To help prevent plumbing problems, customers can schedule whole-home plumbing inspections with Vito Services. Just as the company's HVAC contractors in Rockville, MD, help protect customers' heating and cooling systems, Vito's plumbers provide the same level of care to residential plumbing systems.

The most reliable way to prevent flooding is to turn off the main water supply and drain the pipes. However, there are other factors to consider. For example, a home with clogged drains and no running water can lead to unpleasant odors throughout the home. During an inspection, Vito's plumbers will inspect the drains to ensure proper drain flow. The company also specializes in drain cleaning services to effectively remove clogs and prevent future problems.

The water heater is another concern. To prevent flooding, homeowners should drain their water heaters and turn them off—especially if the water is off. During a tune-up, Vito's plumbers can show customers how to properly drain their water heaters before leaving for vacation.

"When you go away on vacation, it's easy to have the 'Out of sight, out of mind mentality,'" says owner Jim Vito. "But when it's time to come home, the last thing you want to be greeted with is a flood. If it's been a while since a professional examined your plumbing, you might want to consider having it inspected before you leave. At the end of the day, our plumbers are trained to see things that most homeowners can't. Things that, when left untreated, can lead to serious expenses—especially when the homeowner isn't around to do damage control."

In addition to plumbing inspections, Vito offers a number of benefits to Service Club members, including service discounts, courtesy scheduling reminders and more.
