Get Ready for Spring with a Preventative Maintenance Service

Get Ready for Spring with a Preventative Maintenance Service

March and April showers bring more than May flowers – they bring flooding! Now is the perfect time to make sure your equipment is serviced and ready.


At Xylem, we have Preventative Maintenance Services to keep your equipment up and running. You can get just one service to get ready for spring or set up a series throughout the year. It's easy - just make an appointment and we can service your equipment onsite or at one of our branches.

Xylem has Service Technicians and service vehicles fully equipped with all the tools, supplies, and parts required to carry out inspections and services. If a mechanical or repair issue is encountered, our skilled technicians can make repairs onsite.

It just takes a few hours, depending on pump size, and it will save you money by spotting issues that could cause big problems down the road.
