How to judge plumbing work

Most plumbing emergencies are the visible end of a slow problem: a supply line that has been weeping behind drywall, a water heater whose anode rod gave up years ago, or a drain line that has been narrowing with scale. The value of a good plumber is largely in catching the slow version before it becomes the loud one.

Water pressure, pipe material and water chemistry interact more than most homeowners expect. Hard water shortens fixture life; pressure above roughly 80 psi stresses every joint in a house. Asking what a plumber measures — not just what they replace — is a fair way to judge one.

Common service intervals for household plumbing (general maintenance guidance, not a service promise)
Component	Typical service interval	Why it matters
Water heater flush	Annually	Sediment reduces efficiency and shortens tank life
Anode rod check	2–4 years	A spent rod moves corrosion to the tank itself
Supply hoses (washer)	Replace every 5 years	Burst hoses are a leading cause of water damage
Main shutoff exercise	Annually	A seized valve turns a small leak into a large one
Drain line inspection	As symptoms appear	Slow drains often precede a full blockage

What customers say

I have used Three-Way Plumbing over the past few years to install a new water heater, replace shut-off valves on all sinks and toilets, install a whole-house shut off and to add an outdoor spigot (most recent). I always ask for Tom. He's a former engineer. He's knowledgeable and professional. They use a standard pricing sheet so you pay the same for the service as anyone else. They have a year warranty on all of their work. Easy to book, responsive and respectful of property. My go to for our plumbing needs.

Lucas was excellent! He fixed our water pressure and installed a new shower head, demoing all the features for us. Really appreciated all the helpful advice he shared, from preventing frozen spigots to keeping the shower dry, plus explaining our options for water filtration systems. He was professional, knowledgeable, and didn't try to upsell us. We've already scheduled him to come back for the under sink filter installation. Highly recommend!

I really appreciate their prompt service with a top notch technician. He answered all my questions and properly diagnosed the problems and didn't overcharge us. He installed new disposal same day, a very nice quality unit. I had him back a 2nd time after my new faucet came in and he was actually able to determine it wasn't needed after taking it apart and he corrected the problem, saving us $$. He gave us options and explained everything. I will certainly call for same plumber next time I need one!
