As the chilly winter days give way to the warmth of spring, it’s time to start thinking about more than just cleaning out your closets and tidying up your garden. Your plumbing system deserves some attention too! This season of renewal is the perfect opportunity to give your home’s plumbing a thorough check to ensure everything is running smoothly and efficiently.

Here at Putman & Sons Plumbing, we recommend starting with your water heater. After working overtime during the cold months, it’s crucial to check it for any signs of wear or damage. A simple maintenance check can extend the life of your water heater and prevent unexpected breakdowns. Additionally, consider flushing the tank to remove any sediment that may have built up, which can improve efficiency and reduce heating costs.

Next, inspect all faucets, showers, and toilets for leaks. Even a small drip can waste a significant amount of water over time, not to mention the potential damage to your home’s infrastructure. Our experienced technicians can replace worn-out fixtures, fix leaks, and even upgrade your fittings to more water-efficient models, helping you save money and conserve water.

Don’t forget about your sump pump. Spring often brings increased rainfall, which can lead to flooding, especially if your pump is not working correctly. Testing your sump pump before the rainy season can be a simple yet effective way to avoid a waterlogged disaster.

And while you’re thinking about preventing water damage, consider having your drains professionally cleaned. Over the winter, debris, grease, and other waste can accumulate in your pipes, leading to clogs and slow drainage. A professional cleaning by our skilled plumbers can ensure your drains are clear and ready for the increased usage that often comes with warmer weather.

From routine maintenance to emergency repairs, our team is ready to ensure your plumbing system is in top shape for spring and beyond.
