Leak Prevention Checklist
A realistic visual maintenance checklist for accessible plumbing areas.
A realistic, conservative checklist
You can do a visual check of accessible plumbing areas without tools. This isn't exhaustive, but it's a good habit.
Check regularly
- Look for dampness or stains under sinks.
- Check supply lines at fixtures for bulging or wear.
- Listen for running water when nothing is in use.
- Inspect visible pipes for corrosion or mineral buildup.
- Confirm your water heater area is dry and clear.
If you notice anything, note it and share it when you request service. Early attention is easier than a repair after damage.
