Ongoing plumbing maintenance protects your home and wallet from unexpected failures. Here’s what you should do every season.

Spring Plumbing Checks: Preparing for Increased Use

Spring is the perfect time to inspect outdoor faucets and irrigation systems for leaks after winter.

Clearing debris from drains and gutters ensures they are ready for seasonal rains.

Summer Maintenance: Handling High Water Usage

In summer, water usage typically rises. Check hoses, sprinklers, and water meters for efficiency.

Be vigilant about detecting running toilets or dripping taps, as these can lead to wasteful water loss.

Autumn Preparation: Ready Your Plumbing for Cooling Weather

As temperatures drop, it’s important to insulate pipes particularly in unheated spaces.

Test your hot water system and flush out sediment to maintain peak performance.

Winter Tips: Prevent Freezing and Burst Pipes

During winter, leave taps slightly open to prevent freezing and apply insulation to exposed pipes.

Check heating systems regularly to avoid unexpected shut-offs caused by plumbing issues.
