Fall welcomes us all with pleasant temperatures, beautiful colors, and fun holidays during the season. Although these wonderful things ring true about fall, this time of the year also points to the fact that winter is right around the corner. Winter temperatures and weather can easily put pressure on your home and plumbing system if you don’t take time to utilize preventative maintenance beforehand. In that case, here are several plumbing maintenance tips during fall, brought to you by experts at BullsEye Plumbing Heating & Air.
1. Check Water Hoses
Any water hoses that remain connected during the wintertime can expand and eventually freeze up. Once they expand, the faucets and any pipes connected to those can freeze and break off as well. If you want to prevent this from happening, disconnect your water hoses and empty the water from them. You should also store them in a dry area so they don’t freeze and expand even while disconnected. Talk to a professional plumber if you need assistance.
2. Clean Gutters
Precipitation falls more in the winter than it does during any other season. If it rains during this time, you should make sure that your gutters are clean beforehand. Get rid of any leaves, twigs, debris, and ensure there’s nothing there that could attract small rodents or animals. Clearing your gutters and keeping them clear ensures that you’ll have proper draining. You can also get in touch with a plumbing company if you’d like to have this service provided to you.
3. Inspect Sewer Line
Being proactive with your sewer line can easily save you lots of money and time in the end. Before the cold months come around, consider scheduling professional plumbing repairs and a sewer inspection or sewer line snaking to ensure all debris and problematic material are clear.
4. Flush Water Heater
As the winter comes in, you’re going to be in need of your water heater more than usual. If you want your water heater to last make it through the winter, consider having it flushed and rid of buildup by a professional. The last thing you want is to lose access to your hot water in the midst of frigid weather. Always rely on professionals for your emergency plumbing needs.
