Many major plumbing disasters — from burst pipes to corroded heaters — can be avoided with seasonal preventive care. September is prime time for fall checks as SF transitions to cooler nights and the risk of moisture-related issues rises.
🛑 Top Fall Plumbing Priorities
- Inspect all exposed pipes for recent cracks or leaks
- Test sump pumps (if present) and check basement/crawlspace for water intrusion
- Flush and tune up your water heater
- Ensure hose bibs and outdoor lines are drained and insulated
- Secure any permits or compliance checks if you plan to remodel/sell (as required by SF water conservation code).
