The beginning and end of each season is always a good time to inspect your plumbing and make improvements. To Do:

 ~Check that you have no cracked pipes or any other leaks in the house.

  ~A running toilet or a leaky spigot can waste from 500 to thousands of gallons of water a day.

  ~Leaking pipes can cause water damage in, as well as, outside the house.

~As you consider updates to your home, keep this in mind: 

~If you still have an old model toilet or shower head, know that they use much more water than the newer, more efficient ones.

~Problems discovered should NEVER be put off until the following spring. 

~With the freezing and thawing of the ground, pipes take much more of a beating throughout the winter. Small problems become big problems very quickly when temperatures are below freezing. 

~Remember that your shut off valve is very important in preventing water disasters.

~Even if you are here almost every weekend, you need to turn it off and on several times a year to prevent it from seizing.

~Once the valve has frozen, it often needs to be dug up and replaced. A few quick turns a year can prevent that and save you hundreds of dollars.

~Year-round it is a good idea to turn your water and your hot water heater off when not in residence.
