Fall Plumbing Tips | Prepare Your Home
Many homeowners find themselves tackling avoidable issues once colder temperatures arrive. Now is the perfect time to perform regular and preventative plumbing maintenance to prepare your home for the winter season, which is when most plumbing issues arise.
Below are five important Fall plumbing tips:
#1. Drain and close interior shut-off valves after removing hoses and shutting off your outdoor faucet. Older homes may not have this feature. It’s important to close these valves once you have finished using your exterior water faucets. Closing this valve helps interior pipes from freezing and bursting.
#2. Apply insulating material to pipes in unheated areas of your home. This is a common reason for a pipe to burst in a seemingly well-prepared home.
#3. Make sure your water heater is in good operating condition. Inspecting your water heater independently or as part of a plumber’s yearly inspection is critical both for the efficiency of your home and the longevity of the heater itself. Trained plumbers will perform a flush of the system to remove sediment that has built up.
#4. Leaving your home for an extended period? Shut off the main water lines in your home to keep pipes healthy. There’s little point in heating a home with no inhabitants, though it’s common for homeowners to forget this crucial step. If you are planning on taking a mid-winter trip, make a calendar note a day before you leave.
#5 Adjust the temperature setting of your home’s water heater. The optimal temperature for most water heaters is 120° F, but you can consult your unit’s manual for more information. Setting your unit too high will incur extra expense and may make hot water unsafe for bathing.

Gambling DIY Style
Most people prefer to cut costs wherever possible. This can be an admirable endeavor, however, some things, as we know all too well, are best handled by a professional or end up costing more in the end. A skilled trade takes a lot of training and experience to learn. “I changed the faucet before; I can handle all kitchen plumbing” has gotten many of our now customers into trouble. Putman & Son’s Plumbing has been called many times after “Handy Man” antics. A cost analysis of some DIY scenes, often demonstrate that calling a professional plumber first is not only cost effective but the job is done quicker and correctly the first time. While cases may vary, it is estimated that on average roughly 50% of DIY projects never are completed or need to be finished up by a professional. Sure, if you have the know-how, fixing a small leak in your faucet or cleaning the U-joint on your kitchen sink may no longer require a professional . . . so long as you have the skills, tools and experience; however, there is always peace of mind in knowing that a job is done proficiently by a certified plumber.
With an untrained eye, many do not notice that there is something as problematic and damaging as a leak. A small leak can end up being a costly mistake and can waste up to 3/4 gallons of water per day. This can add up to roughly $20 extra on your monthly water bill, and that’s if it only drips once every 6 seconds.
The best way to make sure that your plumbing is working properly is through a Putman & Son’s Plumbing service maintenance plan. Our professional, certified plumbers inspect your plumbing to make sure your plumbing is working properly and not in need of repair.
