M and M Heating, AC, Plumbing & Electrical understands the importance of staying ahead of potential issues. Let’s explore how different seasons affect your plumbing system and when you might need to call a licensed plumber.
Spring: The Season of Renewal and Repairs
As winter thaws, it’s time to assess any damage caused by freezing temperatures. Spring is ideal for:
- Checking outdoor faucets and hoses for leaks
- Inspecting sump pumps before spring rains
- Cleaning gutters to prevent water damage
Summer: Preparing for Increased Water Usage
Hot Colorado summers mean more water consumption. Consider:
- Installing water-efficient fixtures
- Scheduling a professional drain cleaning
- Checking sprinkler systems for leaks
Fall: Getting Ready for Colder Months
Autumn is the perfect time to prepare your plumbing for winter:
- Insulating pipes in unheated areas
- Draining and storing outdoor hoses
- Scheduling a water heater maintenance check
Winter: Preventing Freezes and Breaks
Cold Dacono and Frederick winters can wreak havoc on plumbing systems:
- Keep your home heated, even when away
- Allow faucets to drip during extreme cold
- Know how to shut off your main water valve in case of emergencies
