Harsh winter weather can wreak havoc on your pipes, drains, and other parts of your plumbing. Left uncheck it can lead to serious problems.

There are a number of things professional plumbers can do to ensure your home’s plumbing system works efficiently and effectively. The following are 5 things you should have a professional take care of as soon as possible this spring.

Check For Leaks And Drips

Leaky pipes can damage your cabinets, lead to mold and mildew, and increase your water bill. It can also damage to your floors and your foundation if it is left unchecked. You should call in a professional and have them check your pipes and sinks thoroughly. If they find any leaks or damage, have it repaired immediately so it does not lead to expensive emergencies when you begin to use your sinks and drains more during the warmer months.

Have Your Sump Pump Checked

Sump pumps are one of the most neglected parts of most plumbing systems. Snow during the winter and spring showers can put additional stress on your sump pump. This can make your home susceptible to flooding and cause water to back up into your basement. Call in a plumbing company and have them clean, check, and perform preventative maintenance on your sump pump. Taking time to have it done now can save you headaches and money later on.

Have Drain Cleaned And Checked

Drains are often ignored. Soap scum, food particles, grease, and other types of debris can begin to build up in your drains and lead to clogs. These clogs can cause back-ups in your kitchen and bathrooms, damage your floor coverings and potentially cause health problems. Call in a plumber and have them thoroughly clean and inspect your drains.

Control Tree Roots

Tree roots can cause a nightmare for home owners. They can puncture and damage drain and water pipes, impact your foundation, and cause all kind of other problems on your property. A skilled, experienced plumber can identify potential problems tree roots can cause for your pipes and drains.

Service Your Hot Water Tank

If your water tank is not serviced regularly it can rust, get lime deposits, and develop leaks in the water and gas lines. This can lead to health and safety problems in your home. Spring is the perfect time to have your water heater serviced to prevent major problem from developing.
