Spring is the right time for any homeowner to assess the plumbing system. For spring, we do all other cleaning but some of us forget about checking the plumbing system. Some of these issues are those that have been missed during the winter season. If you want to make sure that everything around is perfectly working you can follow some general spring plumbing tips? Here they are:There are some drains in the house that are rarely used but still odors rise from such drains. This can be prevented by pouring a gallon of water into the drain. While pouring water, you will figure out which drain is slow for which you need to use some drain cleaner or even a wire hanger to fix the clog.There are always leaks around and we dont notice them. In order to find potential leaks, you can do a self-check. It is best if you check the water meter before going to bed. When you wake up, check the meter again. If the water is used, you will see a change in the reading. If not, then it will remain the same. This is a great way to find leaks and get them repaired soon.The pipes located at the sink and in the basement are the most neglected ones. You can check them for potential leaks. In order to make sure that the sump pump is working fine, pour a bucket of water into pit. The preventer valve should work properly. This is important if there is no sewer backup.Check all the drains for clogs. Again this can be done by pouring water and watching the flow of water.The faucets in all the bathroom and kitchen should be checked for drips and leaks. Even if there is a small dripping, it needs to be addressed because it is wasting water. There are often forbidden leaks in the toilet. You can check this by pouring a few drops of food color in the toilet tank. Wait for half an hour. If the color leaks into the bowl, it means that the toilet needs repair. Check the bowl and toilet tank for cracks too. You will have to call a plumber Dagenham if you see any such problem. You must keep extra flapper valves at home because the toilet handles always stop functioning properly. Keep in touch with Plumbers Dagenham to address any plumbing emergency you face at awkward times.
