The Annual Coastal Spring Checklist

Here are 10 quick things you should check around your house before the summer heat arrives.

1

Inspect Outdoor Hose Bibs

Turn on each outdoor faucet. If water trickles or doesn't flow, a pipe may have frozen and cracked over winter. Call us before it becomes a flood.

2

Reconnect Outdoor Faucets & Irrigation

If you winterized your sprinkler system or outdoor kitchen, now's the time to turn the water back on and check for leaks at every connection.

3

Test Your Sump Pump

Spring rains are coming. Pour a bucket of water into the sump pit — the pump should kick on and drain it within seconds. If not, call Clint.

4

Flush Your Water Heater

Sediment builds up all winter. Flushing your tank improves efficiency and extends its life. We recommend this annually — we can do it in under an hour.

5

Check for Slow Drains

Hair, soap, and grease build up over months. If any sink, shower, or tub is draining slowly, get it cleared before it becomes a full backup.

6

Inspect Toilet Internals

Lift the tank lid and flush. Watch the flapper — if it doesn't seal cleanly, you're wasting water 24/7. A running toilet can waste 200+ gallons per day.

7

Look Under Every Sink

Open the cabinet, feel around the pipes and supply lines. Any moisture, drips, or staining means a leak that's been hiding all winter.

8

Check Your Water Pressure

If pressure seems lower than usual, it could be a sign of a hidden leak, a failing pressure regulator, or mineral buildup in your pipes.

9

Inspect Washing Machine Hoses

Those rubber hoses behind your washer have a lifespan. Look for bulging, cracking, or wet spots. A burst hose can dump hundreds of gallons into your home in minutes.

10

"Clint was recommended to us by our builder. We wanted to remove our old shower and upgrade. Clint answered his phone and responded swiftly. This is BIG in business....he actually answers the phone and returns calls! And TEXTS, too! Clint to the rescue! He did a fine job upgrading our shower! He helped in the planning, responded quickly with an estimate, was on time to do the several-days-job, and cleaned up after each day's work. Additionally, we had a problem with our kitchen sink faucet on a Sunday at 6:30 pm. I called Clint and he facetimed me to help me resolve it. However, and unbelievably, I could not get the faucet to turn off the water, the water source line handles (valves) under the sink would not turn, AND the handle that allows water into the house would not operate properly. He was at our house in 30 minutes, shut off the water at the meter, replaced the handle on the water shut off to the house, and replaced the shut off valves under the sink! He sat with us and discussed out choice of new faucets, and he returned the next day with an updated faucet. Great job, Clint."

"We recently hired Clint and his team to power wash our house, carport, and driveway, and to run plumbing up to our two decks. Everything was in really rough shape before they came, and the difference is like night and day. They were fast, efficient, and professional from start to finish. The concrete and exterior look almost brand new, and the new water lines to the decks are exactly what we needed. We're very happy with their work and will definitely be using Clint and his crew again!"

"Problems solved, fast... and in the pouring rain! I had an inspection report on a historic house I was selling come back with 2 leaks under the house. So I had to move fast. I called a dear friend who recommended, Clint. First thing the next morning, Clint and Hank worked for 2 hours in the pouring rain assessing the problem, securing the right parts, and fixing the leaks! I highly recommend these two professionals!"

"Clint has performed many services for us over the last three years. He is always quick to respond when we call and can get to us in a timely fashion. Our jobs have sometimes been quite challenging, locating mysterious yard leaks, replacing well pumps, plumbing our house for city water, installing water filtration systems, and more. He is always up to the tasks and greets us with a smile and a handshake. Clint is a true craftsman!"
