Plumbing Preventative Maintenance

Routine Plumbing Care: Keep Your Home Flowing Smoothly!

Taking care of your plumbing doesn’t have to be a chore! By incorporating a few simple tasks into your routine, you can ensure your plumbing system stays in tip-top shape:

Keep an Eye Out for Leaks: Make it a habit to check under sinks, around toilets, and at exposed pipes daily or weekly. A tiny drip might seem harmless, but it can waste hundreds of gallons of water in the long run!
Monitor Water Pressure: Grab a pressure gauge and check your water pressure regularly to make sure it’s in the safe zone of 40–60 PSI. Too high? That’s tough on your pipes. Too low? You might be looking at a blockage or a hidden leak.
Be Drain Smart: What you flush or pour down your drains matters! Make sure to avoid grease, oils, food scraps, hair, and any non-biodegradable items — even those “flushable” wipes aren’t worth the risk.
Monthly Maintenance Magic: Give your faucet aerators and showerheads a little love once a month by soaking them in white vinegar to eliminate pesky mineral buildup.
Listen for Trouble: Trust your ears! Strange sounds like banging (known as “water hammer”) or gurgling can be signs that something needs attention.
Keep Those Pipes Cozy: If you have exposed pipes in chilly areas of your home, make sure they’re insulated to prevent freezing and bursting during cold spells.
Sump Pump Check-In: Don’t forget about your sump pump! Test it monthly, especially before rainy seasons, by pouring a bucket of water into the pit to see if it springs into action.

Annual, Semi-Annual, or Quarterly Tasks: Call in the Pros!

For a thorough check-up of your plumbing, consider scheduling a professional inspection at least once a year. Here’s what they can help you with:

Water Heater TLC: Give your water heater a good flush to rid it of built-up sediment. This little step can boost efficiency and prolong its life. (TANK OR TANKLESS)
T&P Valve Inspection: Have a professional check and test the temperature and pressure relief (T&P) valve on your water heater to ensure it’s functioning properly.
Anode Rod TLC: Check the anode rod in your water heater and replace it if needed to prevent rust and keep your tank in great shape.
Comprehensive System Inspection: Professionals can spot corrosion, damage, and potential issues that might escape the untrained eye, often using specialized tools like sewer video cameras.
Shut-off Valve Check: Make sure all shut-off valves — both main and individual fixture valves — are operational in case of emergencies.
Professional Drain Cleaning: Schedule a cleaning for your drain and sewer lines to prevent major clogs and address any tree root intrusions that could cause problems down the line.

By taking these proactive steps and partnering with professionals when needed, you can prevent minor plumbing issues from turning into costly headaches. Happy plumbing!
