Plumbing System

In Depth

How: After checking all drains first to make sure nothing overflows, simultaneously turn on the water at all sinks, bathtubs and showers; operate dishwasher and washing machine; and flush all toilets. Then look for any leaks in the water and sewer pipes. Look in cabinets, closets, on the floor, under lower level ceilings and under the house. Pipes under the home are white, blue and/or red. Sewer pipes are black.

If freezing temperatures occur, make sure to disconnect the outside garden hoses to keep inner water pipes from freezing and bursting at the spigot. If any water line leaks are found, locate the shut-off valve nearest to the leak and turn the valve to the right (clockwise) until tight. If any sewer line leaks are found, try to trace the piping back to the area it serves and discontinue use of those fixtures until repairs are made. Consult with a qualified plumber as necessary.

Flush your tankless water heater once a year.
