Spring is more than blooming flowers and warmer walks through University City — it’s also the perfect time to check on your home’s plumbing health. At Philadelphia Plumbing Experts, we see an uptick in pipe repair and drain cleaning calls every April and May — and many of these issues could’ve been prevented with some seasonal upkeep.
Here’s what every homeowner in Logan, North Philly, and West Philly should do this season:
🧼 1. Clean Your Drains (Don’t Wait for a Clog)
Hair, grease, and debris build up slowly. Regular drain cleaning every spring keeps your system flowing and prevents backups — especially after a long winter of heavy use.
❄️ 2. Check for Frozen Pipe Damage
Even if nothing burst, pipes may have developed hairline fractures during freezing temps. A small drip in your basement could be the early sign of a major pipe repair issue down the line.
🧯 3. Inspect Outdoor Spigots & Hoses
Freezing weather can crack outdoor fixtures. Turn them on and check for leaks before the summer heat arrives and you need them for daily use.
🚿 4. Water Pressure Dips? Don’t Ignore It.
Low pressure can indicate mineral buildup, leaks, or even a developing sewer line problem. We’ll diagnose and solve it quickly.
Our team of licensed pros lives right here in the city — and we understand the plumbing quirks of Philly’s historic homes. Whether you’re in a 100-year-old house in West Philly or a modern condo near the universities, we’ve got you covered.
