Why you should have your plumbing inspected
As the winter chill gives way to the refreshing arrival of spring, it’s an opportune time to give your plumbing system the attention it deserves. The change in seasons presents unique challenges for your pipes, fixtures, and drains, making spring plumbing maintenance a crucial task. We understand the importance of spring plumbing maintenance and how partnering with Borum can help you ensure a smooth-running plumbing system throughout the year.
Prevent Costly Water Leaks and Damage
Spring thaw and temperature fluctuations can wreak havoc on your plumbing system, causing hidden leaks that can lead to costly water damage if left unaddressed. Conducting a thorough inspection of your pipes, joints, and faucets during spring maintenance allows you to identify any signs of leaks or potential weak points. Borum’s team of skilled plumbers can help you detect and repair these issues promptly, saving you from expensive repairs and preventing further damage to your property.
Protect Against Burst Pipes
The freezing temperatures of winter can weaken your plumbing system, putting it at risk of burst pipes when spring arrives. As the ground thaws, the shifting soil and changing water pressure can put stress on your pipes, potentially leading to cracks or ruptures. During spring plumbing maintenance, Borum’s team can inspect your pipes for signs of damage, reinforcing vulnerable areas and taking preventive measures to safeguard against burst pipes. Identifying and addressing these issues early can save you from the inconvenience and costly repairs associated with water damage from burst pipes.
Ensure Proper Functioning of your Sump Pump
Springtime often brings heavy rainfall, putting your basement at risk of flooding. Your sump pump protects your home from water damage by removing excess water from your basement. To ensure it functions correctly when you need it most, including your sump pump in your spring plumbing maintenance checklist is essential. Borum’s expert plumbers can inspect and test your sump pump, ensuring it is in good working order and ready to handle any excess water that comes its way.
Increase Energy Efficiency
Spring plumbing maintenance is not only about preventing potential issues but also optimizing the efficiency of your plumbing system. Small adjustments and repairs, such as fixing leaks, replacing worn-out fixtures, and insulating pipes, can significantly improve your system’s energy efficiency. Borum’s experienced plumbers can help identify areas where energy loss occurs and recommend upgrades or repairs that will enhance your plumbing system’s efficiency, saving you money on your water bills in the long run.
Spring plumbing maintenance is a vital step in ensuring the smooth operation of your plumbing system, protecting your home from water damage and improving its overall efficiency.
