Plumbing problems donāt always start with a burst pipe or a flooded bathroom. Sometimes, the warning signs are subtleāand easy
š¦ļø Seasonal Plumbing Tips Every Homeowner Should Know
š· Spring: Check for Winter Damage
Inspect for Leaks
Cold weather can weaken seals and joints. Check around sinks, toilets, and water heaters for moisture.
Spring rains are coming! Make sure your sump pump is working before heavy downpours hit.
Flush the Water Heater
Sediment builds up over winter flushing it out improves efficiency and extends the life of the unit.
ā Summer: Prep for More Usage
Check for Toilet & Faucet Leaks
Summer often means guests and more water usage. A leaky toilet or dripping faucet can waste water and spike your bills.
Be Gentle with the Garbage Disposal
More cookouts = more food scraps. Avoid grease, bones, and fibrous foods to prevent clogs.
Watch for Sewer Line Trouble.
Tree roots love warm weather and your sewer lines. If you notice slow drains or gurgling sounds, call us before it becomes a backup.
Clean gutters and check drains šš ļø
Fallen leaves can clog gutters, downspouts, and drains. If water doesn’t flow properly, it can build up and lead to leaksāor even freeze once the cold hits. It’s also a great time to check that outdoor valves shut off properly and to drain garden hoses or irrigation systems before the first frost.
Insulate exposed pipes š§š§
Pipes located in cold areas (like basements, attics, or outdoors) are very vulnerable to freezing. When that happens, the water inside can expand and cause them to burst š„. Use foam insulation, heat tape, or even special pipe wraps. It’s a small investment that can save you from a major disaster.
