Your outdoor plumbing system can easily be forgotten about, but it needs annual maintenance to continue to function properly. It is important to check all aspects of your outdoor plumbing as the weather can change things without you noticing. Here are a few places in your outdoor plumbing system we recommend checking at least once a year when the seasons change.
Outdoor Faucets
Ensure all outdoor faucets are cleared from clogs or debris and are not leaking. Keep an eye on the water pressure when using your outdoor faucets or hoses. If it is inconsistent, this may be a sign that you have a cracked pipe or another underlying plumbing problem.
Outdoor Drains
Be sure to check all outdoor drains, gutters, and downspouts and clear them of debris or leaves. We also recommend checking all your window wells, as well as your dryer vent to ensure there are no birds nesting inside!
Septic System
We recommend scheduling a professional sewer inspection every three to five years to ensure there are no underlying problems in your system. If left unchecked, septic repairs can be extremely expensive. If you think you may have a septic issue, ask our team of experts today!
Sewer Line
Getting your septic system checked once a year gives you peace of mind in knowing everything is running as it should be. It is possible for tree roots to grow in underground pipes or sewer lines, which can cause large problems for your plumbing system. We can perform a sewer line camera inspection to show you exactly what is in your sewer!
