Examine Areas Around Plumbing Fixtures

Your plumbing fixtures, such as toilets, sinks, and faucets, are all items that we may overlook if they appear to be working normally. However, even the smallest of leaks can lead to a plumbing nightmare as well as an increase in utility bills. Here are some signs that your plumbing fixtures may be leaking:

• Water pooling under cabinets beneath fixtures
• Warped flooring
• Cracked or “spongy” spots in the flooring
• Ceiling and wall stains
• Bubbling/peeling of paint or wallpaper

Inspect Outdoor Plumbing

During the summer months, we use our outdoor plumbing system for gardening and lawn maintenance. To avoid any flooding issues on your property, be sure to check that valves that have hoses attached are turned off. It’s also a good idea to clean out gutters, downspouts, and drains should there be heavy rainfall while you are gone. 

Give Your Basement and Crawlspace  a Once-Over

If you have exposed pipes in your basement and crawl space, and you notice any corrosion, this could be a sign that your pipes may be leaking. If you smell or notice mold, mildew, or rotting wood near pipes, this is also an indication that you may have a problem. Look for water stains, and check that any items you may be storing are dry. If your items have mold growing on them, it may be time to have a full basement inspection done by a professional.
