Spring Plumbing Checklist for Georgia Homeowners

Georgia winters are mild, but they can still stress your plumbing. Spring is the ideal time to inspect your system and catch small problems before they become summer emergencies.

Outdoor Plumbing Checks

• **Inspect outdoor faucets** — turn them on and check for leaks
• **Check hose connections** — replace worn washers
• **Look for standing water** — near foundation, could indicate a leak
• **Clean gutters and downspouts** — proper drainage prevents foundation issues

Indoor Plumbing Checks

• **Test all faucets** — check for drips and proper hot/cold operation
• **Flush water heater** — remove sediment buildup for better efficiency
• **Check under sinks** — look for moisture, mold, or slow drips
• **Test toilets** — listen for running and check for base leaks
• **Inspect washing machine hoses** — replace rubber hoses every 5 years

Sewer and Drain Checks

• **Slow drains** — spring is a great time for preventive drain cleaning
• **Tree root growth** — spring roots are aggressive and can invade sewer lines
• **Sewer camera inspection** — check for developing problems before they backup
