- Winter: Insulate your pipes to prevent freezing. Disconnect outdoor hoses and shut off exterior water valves. Keep your home heated to at least 55°F (13°C) to protect indoor pipes.
- Spring: Check for leaks caused by winter freeze-thaw cycles. Clean gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage. Inspect sump pumps for efficiency with melting snow and spring rains.
- Summer: Examine outdoor faucets and sprinkler systems for leaks or damage. Consider installing water-saving fixtures to combat higher summer water usage.
- Fall: Clear leaves and debris from gutters and drains. Inspect water heaters for optimal performance as you prepare for colder months. Drain and store garden hoses before the first frost.
