Here are a few more plumbing tasks to consider for spring maintenance:

Inspect Sewer and Septic System: If you have a septic system, schedule a professional inspection and pumping if needed. For sewer systems, check for any signs of backups or slow drains.
Check Water Pressure: Use a water pressure gauge to test your home's water pressure. High pressure can damage pipes and fixtures, while low pressure can indicate a problem.
Inspect and Clean Showerheads: Remove mineral buildup by soaking showerheads in vinegar. This can improve water flow and prevent clogging.
Install or Test Backflow Prevention Devices: If you don't have a backflow prevention device, consider installing one to prevent contaminated water from entering your home's clean water supply. If you already have one, make sure it's functioning properly.
Test Water Softener: If you have a water softener, check the salt levels and add salt if necessary. Also, make sure it's operating correctly.
Install Water-Saving Devices: Consider installing low-flow showerheads, faucet aerators, and dual-flush toilets to reduce water usage and save on utility bills.
Check for Pipe Insulation: Inspect the insulation on your pipes, especially those in unheated areas like the basement or garage. Replace any damaged or missing insulation to prevent freezing in the future.
Inspect and Maintain Outdoor Drains: Ensure that outdoor drains are clear of debris and functioning properly to prevent water accumulation and potential flooding.
Inspect and Clean Dishwasher and Garbage Disposal: Clean the filters and check for any clogs or leaks in your dishwasher and garbage disposal. Run a cleaning cycle with a specialized cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and baking soda.
