As the Weather Warms Up — Don’t Forget to Check Your Plumbing with Angle Stop Plumbing

After a long stretch of cold weather, warmer days are finally on the horizon — and that’s great news for your home! 🌤️ But as temperatures rise, the transition from freezing to thawing can reveal hidden plumbing problems that developed over the cold snap we just experienced. Now is the perfect time to give your plumbing system a careful inspection, and the pros at Angle Stop Plumbing are here to help.

Even small leaks that went unnoticed in colder months can cause serious water damage, increased utility bills, and potential mold growth if not addressed promptly. A proactive inspection can save you thousands down the line — and give you peace of mind heading into spring.

🔍 Why a Plumbing Inspection Matters After Cold Temperatures

During freezing temperatures, your home’s plumbing expands and contracts repeatedly as pipes go from frozen to thawed. This cycle can create tiny cracks or weak points in your plumbing that might not start leaking right away.

As the weather warms up this week, these cracks often open — leading to slow, hidden leaks behind walls or under floors. That’s why this transition period is the ideal time to schedule a professional inspection with Angle Stop Plumbing.

Our expert plumbers will:

• Carefully check your pipes, fittings, and water heater for signs of stress or cracks

• Inspect outdoor and crawl-space plumbing for winter damage

• Identify small leaks before they become big, costly issues

  
  

💧 A Simple Do-It-Yourself Check: The Water Meter Test

Even if you don’t see visible leaks, there’s a quick way to check for hidden ones yourself — by using your water meter.

Here’s how:

1. Make sure all the water inside your home is turned off — faucets, washing machine, dishwasher, everything.

2. Go outside and locate your water meter (usually near the street or sidewalk).

3. Watch the small dial or triangle on the meter face.

   • If it’s spinning or moving, water is still flowing somewhere in your system — which means you have a leak.

   • If it stays still, your system is likely leak-free.

If your meter shows movement when all your water is off, call Angle Stop Plumbing right away. Our professionals can locate and repair leaks quickly before they cause costly water waste or property damage.
