Hey there, Texas! 👋
Can you believe we’re already halfway through January? Time flies, and while you’re crossing off your to-do list for the year, don’t forget to add one important task: plumbing maintenance! As we settle into the new year, it’s the perfect time to make sure your home’s plumbing is ready to handle the rest of 2025—before any problems pop up.
Here are some plumbing tips to keep things running smoothly for the rest of winter and beyond:
1. Check for Post-Holiday Leaks
After all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, it’s easy to overlook minor plumbing issues. But small leaks around faucets, pipes, or the water heater can add up fast and cost you. This is a great time to give your home a quick once-over and keep an eye out for any signs of water damage. If you spot something, let us know—small leaks are much easier (and cheaper) to fix now than later!
2. Time to Inspect Your Water Heater
If you haven’t already checked on your water heater, now’s the time! Winter can put a strain on your water heater as it works overtime to keep you warm, especially in those chilly Texas evenings. Our team can inspect your water heater, checking for issues like sediment buildup, leaks, and water pressure problems, ensuring that it runs smoothly for the rest of winter.
3. Prevent Freezing Pipes
Even in Texas, temperatures can dip low enough to freeze pipes. If you haven’t already insulated your outdoor pipes or water lines, it’s not too late. Frozen pipes can cause serious damage and costly repairs, so take a few minutes to insulate exposed pipes in attics, garages, or crawl spaces, and you’ll be one step ahead.
4. Clear Out Those Drains
Start the year with fresh, clean drains! Over time, hair, grease, and soap scum can build up in your drains and cause blockages. This is a great time to clear out those pesky clogs before they turn into bigger issues. We can help with drain cleaning if you need a professional touch.
5. Upgrade to a Tankless Water Heater
Looking to make a change this year? Consider upgrading to a tankless water heater. These units heat water on demand, saving you energy and space—plus, they provide a continuous flow of hot water when you need it. It’s a smart upgrade that’ll pay off in the long run!
6. Schedule Your Annual Plumbing Checkup
January is the perfect time to schedule your annual plumbing checkup. Regular maintenance helps identify small problems before they turn into costly repairs. Our expert team at Jensen Plumbing LLC can help you with a full plumbing inspection to ensure everything is working like it should.
Why Now?
Waiting until the summer months or before big holiday events to deal with plumbing issues can lead to more costly repairs and headaches. Start the year off right by checking off that plumbing to-do list now! A quick check-up now means fewer problems down the line.
