Seasonal Maintenance Tips

Spring: Check for Winter Damage

- Inspect Pipes and Faucets: Check for any cracks or leaks caused by freezing temperatures. Look for damp spots or puddles around the home, which could indicate a hidden leak.

- Sump Pump Test: Ensure the sump pump is working correctly by pouring a bucket of water into the sump pit. The pump should activate and drain the water promptly.

- Water Heater Inspection: Examine the water heater for any signs of rust or leaks. Flush the tank to remove sediment build-up that can reduce efficiency.

Summer: Optimize Water Usage

- Check Sprinkler Systems: Inspect lawn sprinkler systems for leaks or broken sprinkler heads. Adjust the settings to avoid overwatering.

- Inspect Hoses and Valves: Check garden hoses and outdoor faucets for leaks. Replace any worn-out washers and tighten connections as needed.

- Inspect Sewer Line: With increased water usage, summer is an excellent time to inspect the sewer line for blockages or tree root intrusion.

Fall: Prepare for Colder Weather

- Insulate Pipes: Insulate any exposed pipes in unheated areas such as basements, crawl spaces, and garages to prevent freezing.

- Drain Outdoor Faucets: Disconnect and drain garden hoses. Shut off and drain outdoor faucets to prevent burst pipes.

- Check Water Heater: Test the water heater's pressure relief valve and set the temperature to 120 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure optimal performance during the colder months.

Winter: Prevent Freezing

- Keep Cabinets Open: On extremely cold days, open kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors to allow warm air to circulate around the pipes.

- Let Faucets Drip: Allow a small drip from faucets connected to exposed pipes to prevent freezing.

- Monitor Heating: Ensure the home's heating system is working efficiently to keep the indoor temperature above freezing.

Routine Checks and Maintenance

Monthly:

- Drain Cleaners: Avoid using chemical drain cleaners as they can damage pipes. Instead, use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar to keep drains clear. For professional help, consider drain cleaning services [https://legacyplumbinganddrain.com/drain-cleaning-repair/] from Legacy Plumbing and Drain Inc.

- Check for Leaks: Regularly check under sinks and around toilets for any signs of leaks. Promptly address any leaks to prevent further damage.

Quarterly:

- Test Water Pressure: Use a pressure gauge to test the home's water pressure. It should be between 40-60 psi. High pressure can strain pipes and fixtures, leading to leaks.

- Clean Showerheads: Remove and soak showerheads in vinegar to remove mineral deposits and improve water flow.

Annually:

- Inspect Plumbing Fixtures: Check all faucets, toilets, and showerheads for any signs of wear or leaks. Replace worn-out washers and seals.

- Flush Water Heater: Flushing the water heater annually removes sediment build-up, improving efficiency and extending its lifespan. If the water heater needs replacement, check out water heater replacement services [https://legacyplumbinganddrain.com/water-heater-replacement-sacramento/] from Legacy Plumbing and Drain Inc.

- Professional Inspection: Schedule an annual plumbing inspection with Legacy Plumbing and Drain Inc. to ensure all systems are functioning correctly and address any potential issues.

Tips for Long-Term Maintenance

1. Avoid Chemical Cleaners: Chemical drain cleaners can erode pipes over time. Opt for natural alternatives like baking soda and vinegar.

2. Use Strainers: Place strainers over drains to catch hair, food particles, and other debris that can cause clogs.

3. Be Mindful of What is Flushed: Only flush toilet paper and human waste. Avoid flushing wipes, paper towels, or feminine hygiene products, which can cause blockages.

4. Know the Plumbing Layout: Familiarize with the location of shut-off valves for water and gas. In case of an emergency, quick action can be taken.

5. Address Issues Promptly: Don't ignore minor issues like slow drains or small leaks. These can escalate into significant problems if not addressed in time.
