As winter fades away and warmer weather sets in, it’s time for Philadelphia homeowners to start thinking about spring plumbing maintenance. After months of freezing temperatures, your pipes, drains, and plumbing fixtures could be hiding problems that only show up when the thaw begins.
At Philadelphia Plumbing Experts – Repairs & Installations LLC, we help residents across West Philly, Logan, North Philly, and University City prepare their plumbing systems for a stress-free season. A little attention now can prevent costly repairs later.
🛠️ Key Plumbing Issues to Watch for This Spring
1. Cracked Pipes
Even a small crack from freezing temperatures can cause big issues once the pipes thaw. Look for signs of moisture under sinks or behind walls.
2. Clogged Drains
Winter debris buildup — like grease, food scraps, and soap residue — can cause slow drains. Professional drain cleaning helps prevent complete blockages.
3. Outdoor Spigots
Before using outdoor water hookups, inspect for leaks caused by frozen lines. A burst pipe can lead to serious water damage if left unchecked.
4. Water Heater Strain
After working overtime during the winter, your water heater may need a maintenance check. Sediment buildup reduces efficiency and can shorten its lifespan.
5. Sewer Line Problems
Snowmelt and spring rain can overload older sewer lines. If you notice slow drainage, bad odors, or gurgling toilets, it could signal the need for a pipe repair or inspection.
