Here are a few ways to prepare your plumbing for the summer season:
Inspect Outdoor Faucets and Hose Bibs
Cold weather can cause cracks and hidden leaks. Check all outdoor spigots for drips or signs of damage.
Check Your Sump Pump
Heavy summer storms can quickly overwhelm basements and crawl spaces. Make sure your sump pump is in good working condition and test the float switch. Also, the backup battery if applicable.
Look for Drainage Issues
Sudden summer storms can quickly overwhelm outdoor drains. Clear debris from downspouts and check for pooling water around your foundation.
Conserve Water Where You Can
Fixing leaks and upgrading to water-efficient fixtures can reduce your utility bills and help protect local resources.
Whether you are tackling summer projects or just trying to avoid surprises, JL Sons Plumbing is here to help.
