A small drip under the sink might seem harmless—but left unchecked, it can cost you hundreds in repairs and water bills. Homeowners often overlook routine plumbing maintenance until it’s too late.
To stay ahead of trouble, make it a habit to:
-
Check under sinks for dampness or discoloration
-
Inspect your water heater annually for signs of rust or corrosion
-
Know where your main shut-off valve is in case of emergency
If your home is over 20 years old and still has original plumbing, consider a proactive inspection. Aging pipes can lead to pressure issues, water damage, or even burst lines. A qualified HVAC and plumbing company can assess risk areas and recommend smart, cost-effective upgrades. Prevention is always cheaper than emergency repairs.
