As the year draws to a close, it’s an opportune time to ensure your home’s plumbing is in top condition for a fresh start in the new year. Year-end plumbing maintenance not only prevents potential issues but also sets the stage for a hassle-free and efficient plumbing system. At Mark Johnson and Sons Plumbing, we care about the well being of your home and plumbing system, which is why we’re here to educate you on some essential checklist items to ensure your plumbing is in optimal working order for the new year.
1. Water Heater Inspection and Service
Begin your year-end plumbing checklist by scheduling a professional inspection of your water heater. Our experienced plumbers will examine the unit for any signs of wear, sediment buildup, or leaks. Regular maintenance ensures your water heater functions efficiently, providing consistent hot water while preventing potential water damage.
2. Check for Plumbing Leaks
Inspect all visible plumbing fixtures, pipes, and connections for signs of leaks. Even minor leaks can escalate into significant water damage if left unattended. Our professional Mark Johnson and Sons plumbers have the expertise to identify and repair leaks promptly, preventing costly repairs down the line.
3. Clear Clogged Drains
Clogged drains can lead to backups and hinder the proper functioning of your plumbing system. Use safe and eco-friendly methods to clear minor clogs, such as using a plunger or natural drain cleaners. For persistent clogs, enlist the help of our professional plumbers equipped with drain-snaking tools to clear the blockage effectively.
4. Ensure Sewer Line Functionality
A properly functioning sewer line is crucial for the overall health of your plumbing system. Year-end maintenance includes inspecting the sewer line for any signs of blockages or damage. Our skilled plumbers employ advanced techniques like camera inspections to assess sewer line health and provide necessary repairs or cleaning.
5. Overall Plumbing System Check-Up
Conduct a comprehensive assessment of your entire plumbing system, including faucets, toilets, and fixtures. Ensure everything is working properly without any signs of leaks, dripping faucets, or running toilets. Addressing these issues promptly can save water and prevent potential water damage.
