Most major plumbing problems start small. A little routine attention can prevent expensive surprises later.
Here’s a simple checklist you can follow throughout the year:
Monthly
- Check under sinks for drips or moisture
- Listen for running toilets
- Look for slow drains
Every 6 Months
- Test your water heater’s temperature setting (around 120°F is ideal)
- Inspect exposed pipes for corrosion
- Check outdoor spigots for leaks
Once a Year
- Flush your water heater (if recommended for your system)
- Have your plumbing inspected if your home is older
- Check washing machine hoses for cracks or bulges
Plumbing maintenance doesn’t have to be complicated. A few minutes of attention can save thousands in repairs.
