Spring Plumbing Maintenance Checklist

March 17, 2025

As the chill of winter mellows into the warmer clime of spring, an essential but often overlooked aspect of homeownership comes to the fore: spring plumbing maintenance. The harsh winter weather can leave a serious impact on your home's plumbing system, necessitating that important springtime TLC to keep things running smoothly. DnA Plumbing, Drain Cleaning, & Heating LLC. stands ready to assist, offering a comprehensive and top-quality range of plumbing services tailored to your needs - ensuring your home's plumbing system is optimally primed for the seasons ahead.


Why is Spring Plumbing Maintenance Important?


Winter is a tough customer for any plumbing system. With frigid temperatures, pipes can face immense damage and the risk of developing leaks increases manifold. These sneaky leaks can lead to significant water wastage and even give rise to daunting structural issues. A diligent spring plumbing check-up can go a long way in preventing such predicaments, saving you from hassles of inconvenient, not to mention costly, repairs in the future. And, you can put your trust in professionals like DnA Plumbing to address these concerns comprehensively.


Your Spring Plumbing Maintenance Checklist:


1. Check for Leaks:

Even minor leaks can snowball into significant water loss if overlooked. It is crucial to inspect all faucets, showerheads, and pipes for any signs of dripping. If you spot any leaks that have escaped your notice, our specialized leak repair and pipe service can come to your rescue.


2. Inspect Appliances:

As the weather turns warmer, it's imperative to check your dishwasher, washing machine, and water heater for signs of leaks, wear, or inefficiencies. If you identify any issues, our top-notch appliance installation service can replace any old or malfunctioning units with speed and efficiency.


3. Test Your Sump Pump:

Spring presents an ideal period to test your sump pump, ensuring that it's ready to take on the summer storms, protecting your home from possible flooding and water damage.


4. Clean Gutters and Downspouts:

Gutters and downspouts filled with debris can block proper water drainage and lead to water leaking into your home's foundation or other unwanted areas. Regular cleaning is necessary to avert such complications.


5. Drain Cleaning:

Ensuring your drains are clear forms a vital part of maintenance. Slow draining or recurring clogs are tell-tale signs that you need our professional drain cleaning service. 


6. Inspect Your Water Heater:

Your water heater should ideally not be set above 120 degrees Fahrenheit. This not only prevents potential scalding incidents but also helps lower energy costs, providing a safer and more efficient home environment.


7. Check Your Toilets:

Look for cracks in the bowl or tank of your toilets and test for silent leaks. Even minor toilet issues can escalate into significant problems if left unattended, so it’s essential to catch these early.


8. Outdoor Faucet Inspection:

Outdoor faucets must also be given a detailed inspection for freeze damage. To verify this, simply turn the faucet on and place a thumb or finger over the opening. If you can stop the flow of water, there could be potential damage to the pipe's interior.


Leave it to the Professionals:


While this checklist provides a comprehensive guideline, some tasks are simply better handled by professionals.
