What a gorgeous time of year! The leaves are changing, the breezes are fresh and crisp, and autumn festivities are approaching. But while you’re enjoying the weather and the seasonal activities, don’t forget that winter won’t be far behind. You don’t want to be caught unprepared.
Your autumn to-do list might include things like bringing the box of hats and mittens out of storage, or changing the screen out for a storm door. But it should also include home maintenance. Your plumbing system will be in much better shape for fall and winter if you get an inspection and routine maintenance done by a qualified plumber. Here’s why.
Holiday Season Plumbing Pressures
During the next few months, you’re likely to put extra wear and tear on your home’s plumbing for a wide variety of reasons. Houseguests may be staying with you, using more hot water, washing more soap scum and hair down your shower drain, and very much hoping not to clog their host’s toilets. Extravagant meals may be planned, which can easily strain your garbage disposal and cause extra cooking grease to slip down the kitchen sink.
All these things will go more smoothly if your plumbing is in the best possible shape to begin with. But if you’ve already got buildup in your drains, minor garbage disposal issues, or delicate and finicky plumbing, you could easily end up with a holiday plumbing emergency on your hands, and nobody wants that!
Winter Weather Worries
One of the biggest risks to plumbing is cold winter weather. Frozen pipes are more than an inconvenience. They’re a disaster! Having a plumber assess your home and help you make a plan to protect your pipes for the winter could save you hours or days of misery, not to mention hundreds or thousands of dollars in plumbing repairs and water damage remediation.
Sewer Line Struggles
Sometimes, slow or clogged drains can be addressed right at the drain. But sometimes, the problem is deeper within the system. Having your plumbing checked out now, before things get to a state of emergency, will mean that any serious sewer line work can be done before winter hits. And when we clean out a sewer line, we make sure it’s really clean! That’s why we offer a four-year warranty on all main sewer line cleanings.
Water Heater Wellness
It’s easy to forget water heater maintenance with all the other busy things that go on in life. But you can suddenly end up with inconsistent temperatures, low pressure, or even a total lack of hot water if you don’t keep your water heater in good condition! Regular maintenance and routine flushing of the system will keep you and your guests in plentiful hot showers for the fall and winter.
