As the chill of winter melts away and spring settles in, many of us look forward to blooming flowers, warmer weather, and—of course—those infamous spring showers. But while rain can bring beauty and renewal, it can also bring a host of plumbing problems if your system isn’t prepared. At Dan’s Plumbing, we’re here to make sure your plumbing can handle everything spring throws its way!
Why Spring Weather Impacts Plumbing
Springtime means increased rainfall, rising temperatures, and thawing ground—all of which can spell trouble for your plumbing system. Whether you own a home or a commercial property, now is the time to assess your plumbing and take preventive action before problems start.
Common Spring Plumbing Issues to Watch For:
1. Flooded Basements and Crawl Spaces: Heavy rains and poor drainage can lead to water pooling near your foundation. This can seep into basements or crawl spaces, damaging belongings and creating a breeding ground for mold.
2. Blocked or Cracked Sewer Lines: Tree roots love spring, too. As they begin to grow, they can infiltrate sewer lines, causing slow drains or backups—especially in older plumbing systems.
3. Backflow Problems: Backflow devices prevent contaminated water from reversing into your clean water supply. Spring is an important time for testing and inspecting these systems, especially for businesses subject to local compliance regulations.
4. Sump Pump Failures: If your sump pump hasn’t run much during the winter, spring is when you’ll find out if it’s still doing its job. Make sure your pump is working before the next downpour hits.
