Seasonal changes affect all areas of a home, including your plumbing. Winter weather can wreak havoc on sewage systems and cause pipes to burst, heating systems to fail, and debris to clog up your drains. Make sure to schedule a spring inspection with a professional plumber and follow these tips to get your system ready for the next season.

Flush Your Water Heater

Mineral deposits and sediment can build up in your tank. Over time, your clothes and dishes won’t get fully clean, even when you wash them. Flushing your water heater helps keep it working at peak performance. Professionals will bring a special truck designed to drain contaminated wastewater and carry it away from your home. If your system builds up easily, consider asking your plumber about a tankless water heater installation.

Get an Inspection 

A spring plumbing inspection can ensure your systems are working properly and prevent damage. Plumbers will inspect for leaks and cracks in your pipes, faucets, and toilet, and make any necessary repairs or replacements. They can also offer advice on how to improve your water efficiency to reduce utility bills.

Test Your Sump Pump

Sump pumps help keep your basement or crawlspace dry. Your plumber will pour water into the pit and run a full cycle to make sure it’s working. If it doesn’t turn on or can’t complete the cycle, it’s likely you’ll need sump pump repairs. Professionals can also identify and repair any leak damage if your pump is broken.
