Spring Plumbing Tips

The winter season is over and spring is finally here. It’s the perfect and smartest time to get all the house plumbing checked and repaired. Here are a few things you should be on the lookout for.

Broken Pipes Or Hose Bibs

When water transforms from liquid to solid, it tends to swell. During winters this swelling can cause pipes to burst, crack or break, throughout the house. Left unattended, the escaping water from these damaged pipes can affect floors, walls, ceilings and more. We highly advise that house owners thoroughly check hose bibs, faucets, spigots, valves and more to ensure that these items are intact.

Cleaning The Drains

It is important to clean the drains and gutters for any dirt and debris that may have accumulated over time. Doing so can help prevent leakages and even growth of mold. Our advice is that you carefully examine and clean the roof’s drainage system along with the vents. Just make sure to take safety measures before climbing on to the roof.

Deal With The Leakages

Broken gaskets that may be causing the faucets to leak should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid further damage. In fact, you should replace any gaskets that may seem worn out. They are simple items that can be found in any hardware store. If you don’t know how to replace them, try not to take any risks and contact plumbing professionals as soon as possible.

Fixing Toilet Leaks

Toilet leaks can pave way for water to seep through the floor and weaken the structure below. In the worst of situation, this can even result in the area collapsing. So, carefully examine the area for exterior cracks and take prompt action to fixing it. Other than that, also look for leaked water on the floor. This may be a sign of a broken wax seal which may need replacement or repair. These are fairly simple fixes that are very inexpensive. So, it is advised that timely action is taken before they translate into major refurbishment requirements.
