3 Money Saving Plumbing Tips for Vancouver Homeowners This Fall!

As the beautiful colours of autumn begin to paint Vancouver’s landscapes, it is the perfect time to begin preparing your home’s plumbing for the seasonal changes that are up ahead. At Miller Plumbing & Drainage we know all too well what Fall in Vancouver can do to a homeowner’s plumbing if you’re not being proactive with your plumbing maintenance. Sadly Vancouver sun can only last so long but worry not, at Miller Plumbing we like to help Vancouver homeowners be as prepared as possible so we’ve put together these three essential tasks every homeowner in Vancouver should consider to help safeguard their plumbing for the Fall Season.

1. Inspect & Clean: Gutter’s & Downspouts

Vancouver is a rainy city, and every homeowner in Vancouver can tell you that but luckily we have our homes to keep us dry and we have our trusty gutters and downspouts to thank for keeping our homes dry and the foundation of our homes in tip-top shape. But if you’re not regularly inspecting and cleaning your gutters and downspouts it can lead to potential water damage to your home’s foundation or basement. Take the time to clean your gutters and downspouts throughout the Fall to ensure proper water flow away from your home.

2. Check for Leaks and Insulate Expose Pipes

Vancouver’s temperatures can fluctuate during the Fall and it can put your plumbing system at risk during the seasonal changes. It’s important to look for any signs of leaks in your pipes, hose bibs, and faucets to help address any leaks promptly to save you from potential water damage or high water bills. Insulate any exposed piping in unheated areas of your home to avoid them from freezing or bursting as temperatures begin to drop.

3. Schedule A Plumbing Inspection

A thorough plumbing inspection by a professional plumber is always a good idea before the weather begins to change in Vancouver. See our article with tips on what to look for when hiring a plumber in Vancouver to make sure you are hiring the best plumber in Vancouver.
