September 22 marks the first official day of fall, which makes this transitional point in the year the perfect time to give your plumbing a little extra attention before colder weather settles in.
That’s why we wanted to share a quick DIY plumbing checklist that you can use to check in on your home’s plumbing this fall. Here’s what we recommend taking a look at:
🍂 Check for leaks around faucets, sinks, and toilets. Look for dripping faucets, water around fixture bases, running toilets, loose toilet bases, or damp spots under sinks.
🍂 Inspect exposed pipes. Take a look at any visible pipes and watch for corrosion, discoloration, moisture, cracks, or bulging.
🍂 Test your drains. Run water in the sinks, tub, and showers to see how quickly they drain.
🍂 Check your water heater. Look for rust, corrosion, moisture around the base, unusual noises, inconsistent hot water, or signs that the unit is working harder than usual.
🍂 Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses. Before freezing temperatures arrive, disconnect garden hoses and drain outdoor faucets when needed.
Notice any issues or just want help getting your plumbing ready for the season? Don’t hesitate to book an appointment with our team. We are here to help.
