Checklist Tasks

• Inspect visible supply lines for corrosion or buildup to catch early leaks.
• Flush seldom-used drains with hot water and baking soda to reduce clogs.
• Check water meter with all fixtures off to spot hidden line leaks.
• Remove and clean faucet aerators and showerheads to clear sediment.
• Test shutoff valves for smooth operation and leaks to ensure they’re ready.
• Brush tub and shower drains to dislodge hair and soap scum.
• Look under toilets and dishwashers for signs of moisture or small leaks.
• Use enzyme drain cleaner monthly to break down debris safely.
• Check exposed pipes for condensation or rust that signal insulation issues.
• Inspect washing machine hoses for bulges or cracks to avoid bursts.
• Clear sump pump discharge lines of debris to prevent backups.
• Make sure all drain traps have water to block sewer gases, especially unused ones.
