As the winter season approaches, it’s crucial to prepare your plumbing for colder temperatures. Even if you live in a region that sees a mild winter, cold weather is still a homeowner’s nightmare. Mr. Rooter Plumbing can help protect your plumbing during the winter season and save you money in the long term. Keep reading because we’ll discuss why fall plumbing maintenance is important.

  • Avoid Unexpected Breakdowns

Fall is the perfect time to insulate your water pipes, flush your water heater, and inspect the sump pump. Low temperatures put your uninsulated pipes at risk of freezing and even bursting. As summer draws to a close, it’s time to think about insulating your pipes and replacing failing ones. Keeping your pipes in tip-top condition is a great way to prevent burst pipes—a common plumbing problem during winter. The last thing you want in the middle of a freezing winter is frozen water pipes, a broken water heater, or a malfunctioning sump pump. It’s advisable to have a skilled plumber inspect all these components of your plumbing system to prevent unexpected emergencies.

  • Enhance System Efficiency

Your drains, water heater, and sump pump all work harder during the colder months. The increase in water usage during cold weather means your drains are more likely to become clogged with hair soap scum and other debris. It’s a good idea to call a local plumbing service specializing in hydrojetting to clean your drain lines and ensure they are ready for winter. If you have an older water heater without insulation, have a plumbing technician wrap the tank with an insulating blanket to reduce heat loss. This will lower your heating bills when the cold weather sets in.

Your sump pump has to be in good shape to safeguard your basement from flooding in case of snowmelt or heavy rainfall. Fall is a great time to check the condition of your sump pump to make sure it still works. Pour a bucket of water into the sump pit to activate the pump and ensure it’s working. If you notice any signs of malfunctioning, call a local plumbing service for sump pump repair.

  • Improve Home Safety

Fall maintenance is not just about enhancing your plumbing system’s efficiency; it’s also about safety. A professional water heater inspection can prevent dangerous situations like gas leaks and carbon monoxide leaks. Similarly, sewer line checks during the fall can keep sewage backups and leaks at bay. If you need a water heater inspection or sewer line maintenance, get in touch with Mr. Rooter Plumbing.

  • Extend the Lifespan of Your Plumbing System

Fall maintenance helps extend the lifespan of the components of your plumbing system. Addressing minor issues before the temperatures drop helps you prevent more significant problems that could cost you more money on major repairs and replacements. By staying on top of fall plumbing maintenance, you’ll get more years of reliable service from your plumbing system.
