Preventative plumbing is more than just a buzzword for 2026.
Older infrastructure and seasonal temperature fluctuations can add strain on plumbing systems, and many modern appliances use more water.
If your water bill seems higher than usual, your plumbing may need servicing. Other signs are low water pressure, rusty-looking water, and damp walls.
Getting a professional service provider to inspect and repair any issues can help prevent structural damage in the long run (and the added expense that comes with this).
Book an annual plumbing inspection. Checking pipes, drains, and the main line helps to spot hidden leaks and corrosion before they become a bigger issue.
Installing smart plumbing technology like leak detectors and automatic shut-off valves can prevent water wastage.
Maintain your drains and fixtures, and don’t use chemical drain cleaners. Clean and check your tap aerators, strainers, and toilet components and be aware of slow drainage or signs that there might be a clog in the system.
Protect your plumbing from extreme weather by insulating exposed pipes ahead of winter and checking for any pipe sweating in summer.
Keep an eye on water pressure and water quality. High pressure can damage fixtures and cause leaks. Buildup from hard water can affect your appliances. You might need to install a filtration system.
With preventative plumbing, you save on costs and repairs and hopefully ensure a longer lifespan for your plumbing system. Remember to schedule a plumbing inspection or maintenance service in 2026 to keep your home safe.
