April showers bring May flowers and the onset of spring, which means it's time for "spring cleaning." Roto-Rooter offers these maintenance tips to protect your home against plumbing problems.

Kitchen/Bathrooms

Check faucets for drips or leaks. Make repairs to save water.
Ensure that all drains have strainers to prevent hair, soap and debris from clogging the drain lines.

Check toilets for hidden leaks. Add six drops of food coloring to the toilet tank. If the toilet is leaking, color will appear in the bowl within 30 minutes. Inspect tank and bowl for cracks or leaks.

Make sure toilets flush properly. If the handle must be held down for a thorough flush or jiggled to stop the water from running you may need to replace worn tank parts. They're inexpensive and you'll notice a lower water bill.

General
Pour a gallon of water into infrequently used drains (including floor drains) to fill the trap and prevent odors from entering the house. Slow floor drains should be snaked to ensure they will carry away water quickly in the event of a flood.

Check exposed pipes under sinks and in the basement for signs of leaks.
If your home has a sump pump, make sure it operates properly by pouring a few buckets of water into the sump pit. The pump should quickly turn on, discharge the water then shut off without any problems. Install a backflow valve in the floor drain if you live in an area where sewers sometimes backup into homes. This device will prevent future backups.

A dry trap is a stinky trap 🤢. This is your reminder to run water in those drains that don’t get much action.

It's getting close to that time of year.. Are you prepared for the cold nights? Don't let your pipes freeze! Heat tape is an electrical cable that prevents pipes and other devices from freezing. It is wrapped around the pipe nearest to the water source in the ground. It is insulated and then plugged into an electrical kit and power from underneath the home.
