Spring Plumbing Tips

1. Now is the time to check and make sure your water heater is running correctly; After all, no one likes to take cold showers! The first step is to ensure your temperature settings are accurate. It is highly recommended that your water heater does not measure above 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. If you have an ice maker, washing machine, and/or dishwasher, it is very important to check the water supply hoses that run to each appliance. You should have the hoses replaced immediately if you see any signs of leakage or bulging in order to prevent them from bursting.

3. You should also be checking the valves that supply water to your toilets and sinks. Rust, caulk, mineral deposits, and other constituents can clog these valves over time, reducing the efficiency of your plumbing. A quick way to check these valves is to make sure you can turn them on and off easily.
