Spring Home Plumbing Maintenance Checklist for 2025
As winter fades and spring blooms, it’s the perfect time to give your plumbing system the attention it deserves. At Binsky Home Service, we believe that a little seasonal maintenance can go a long way in preventing plumbing headaches and keeping your home running smoothly.
Here are our top spring plumbing maintenance tips to help you avoid costly repairs and ensure your system is ready for the warmer months ahead.
1. Check For Leaks and Drips
Winter’s freeze-thaw cycles can be hard on your pipes. Inspect all visible piping—especially under sinks, in the basement, and around outdoor spigots—for any signs of leaks or moisture. Even a small drip can waste gallons of water and lead to mold or water damage if left untreated.
2. Inspect Your Sump Pump
Spring showers can lead to a rise in groundwater and potential flooding. Test your sump pump by pouring a bucket of water into the pit. If it doesn’t kick on right away, it’s time to call Binsky Home for a professional inspection or repair.
3. Flush Your Water Heater
Sediment builds up in your water heater over time, reducing efficiency and lifespan. Spring is an ideal time to flush it out and check the temperature setting.
4. Inspect Drains and Garbage Disposal
Ensure that all drains in sinks, showers, and tubs are draining properly. If water is backing up or draining slowly, a professional cleaning might be needed to clear out buildup. Don’t forget to clean and deodorize your garbage disposal as well!
5. Clear Outdoor Faucets and Hoses
Remove any hose bib covers used during winter and turn on outdoor spigots. If the water flow is weak or you notice leaks, you could have a pipe that froze and cracked over the winter. It’s best to address this before regular yard work and gardening begin.
6. Schedule a Professional Plumbing Inspection
