Spring: A Time for Preventative Maintenance

After months of cold weather, faucets can suffer from buildup, wear, or unnoticed leaks. Addressing these issues early on means you avoid costly repairs later. Our experts at Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling recommend:

• Inspecting for leaks and signs of corrosion – Winter’s harsh conditions can wear down even the best fixtures.
• Cleaning and disinfecting faucet components – Removing deposits and grime ensures smooth operation and contributes to water quality.
• Checking seals and washers – Replacing these small parts can prevent bigger problems and reduce water waste.

Regular maintenance not only extends the lifespan of your faucets but also supports eco-friendly water usage. In fact, our customers appreciate that our proactive services contribute to a hassle-free home, as seen in the glowing online reviews where over 1,400 homeowners rated our overall experience highly [0].

How to Prepare Your Faucets for Spring

1. Conduct a Visual and Functional Inspection

Begin with a thorough inspection by checking the faucets for any visible signs of wear such as drips, mineral deposits, or discoloration. Running the water through a cycle can help spot slow leaks. If the water pressure feels inconsistent or you notice a slight drip, it might be time for professional care.

2. Clean Thoroughly

Over the winter, faucets can accumulate dirt and minerals that impair performance. A gentle detergent with warm water, along with a soft cloth, can remove most buildups. For areas with stubborn deposits, consider a vinegar solution to safely break down the residues. This cleaning process not only improves the appearance but also prevents corrosion that could lead to leaks over time.

3. Replace Minor Components

Often, a worn-out washer or seal may be the culprit behind a minor drip. These parts are inexpensive and quick to replace. Summers Plumbing’s technicians are skilled at quickly diagnosing and addressing these issues, ensuring that your faucet operates smoothly for the months ahead.

4. Consider Upgrading Your Fixtures

Spring is an ideal time to upgrade outdated fixtures. Our Faucet Installation services, as outlined on our website, emphasize choosing quality models that balance performance with cost-effectiveness [3]. When selecting a faucet, consider the number of holes in your sink and your typical usage needs—whether you value a sprayer for hand-washing dishes or other convenient features.
