The cold and long Winter since has come to an end. Now, Spring and soon Summer are here. Here are a few plumbing tips to save money and most importantly, time to spend with your loved ones. Don’t let small plumbing problems take your time away, go out and enjoy the nice weather!
1. Inspect for Leaks
Frozen temperatures during the winter season can be rough on your plumbing, take a walk inside and around your house and check for pipes to make sure that there are no leaks or wet spots water hasn’t been around. It is important to identify leaks as soon as possible so they do not cause larger damage.
Also, take your time and check for water fixtures such as faucets, showerheads, and bathtub spigots, turn them on and off to check that they are properly functioning and it is not leaking when closed. Even though, leaking faucets and showerheads do not cause any harm to your property it will come reflected in your utility bills.
Last but not least, look for rust and corrosion around your water heater pipes and sinks. Although they are smaller issues, not getting them fixed sooner than later can potentially become a much bigger problem.
