Spring is a time for rejuvenation, not just for nature but for your plumbing as well. As temperatures rise, it’s important to check for leaks in outdoor faucets and hoses that may have cracked during winter's freezing temperatures. Also, ensure that your sump pump is functioning correctly. Testing it by pouring a bucket of water into the pit can prevent unpleasant surprises of a flooded basement during spring rains. Inside the house, examine under sinks for leaks and ensure all drains are clearing efficiently. Spring is also an excellent time to schedule a professional inspection with Delta Pipe Repair & Drain Cleaning Corp to preempt any potential issues.
With summer comes increased water use due to outdoor activities. Make sure to check garden hoses and sprinklers for leaks and monitor water bills for unexpected spikes that might indicate hidden leaks. This is also a good time to ensure your washing machine hoses are in good condition, as they take on extra loads with summertime laundry demands. Consider installing mesh drain covers to catch hair and debris, preventing clogs in your bathroom. These simple summer steps can preserve your plumbing from unnecessary wear and tear, saving money on repairs later.
As fall rolls in, it’s time to prepare your pipes for the cooler months. Insulating pipes in the basement or garage can prevent freezing. Draining outdoor hoses and shutting off exterior water spigots is critical to avoiding busted pipes when temperatures drop. Additionally, before the holiday season hustle begins, consider having your water heater checked and serviced. Efficient water heating is essential as you host family and friends. Delta Pipe Repair & Drain Cleaning Corp can assist with a thorough pre-winter inspection to ensure your system is ready for the colder months.
Winter is the most challenging time for plumbing, with freezing temperatures posing significant risks to pipes. To prevent freezing, keep your thermostat set at a comfortable level, even when you’re away. Consider opening cabinet doors to allow warm air circulation around pipes. If you’re traveling, ask someone to check in on your home and run faucets intermittently to prevent freezing. Be sure your home is properly insulated, and pay close attention to your water bill as it can be an early detector of leaks. While you can manage much of this maintenance yourself, Delta Pipe Repair & Drain Cleaning Corp offers emergency services should any winter plumbing issues arise unexpectedly.
