The start of a new year is the perfect time to set goals, not just for yourself but for your home, as well. While you’re making resolutions to eat healthier or exercise more, why not include a few for your plumbing system? After all, keeping your plumbing in top shape can save you money, reduce stress, and even give your home a little glow-up! Here are some plumbing-related resolutions to consider for 2025.
1. Schedule Regular Maintenance
One of the best resolutions you can make is to stay on top of plumbing maintenance. Resolve to schedule an annual plumbing checkup this year. A professional inspection can catch small problems — like slow leaks or sediment buildup in your water heater — before they turn into costly disasters. Plus, regular maintenance helps your system last longer.
2. Save Water (and Money!)
This year, commit to being more eco-friendly by reducing your water usage. Install water-saving fixtures like low-flow showerheads, faucets, and toilets. Check your home for leaks (even a dripping faucet can waste gallons of water a month!) and fix them promptly. Your wallet and the planet will thank you.
3. Upgrade Your Bathroom or Kitchen
If you’ve been dreaming of a fresh new look for your bathroom or kitchen, 2025 might be the perfect time to make it happen. From installing modern fixtures to reconfiguring your space for better functionality, a remodel not only improves your home’s value but can also make daily life more enjoyable. L&M Plumbing can help with everything from moving water lines to installing sinks, faucets, and even water-efficient appliances.
4. Protect Your Pipes in Winter
Although we’re in the thick of winter, it’s never too late to resolve to better protect your pipes during the cold months. Insulate exposed pipes, keep your thermostat above 55°F, and know where your main water shut-off valve is in case of emergencies. Protecting your pipes now can save you from burst pipe headaches later.
5. Treat Your Garbage Disposal with Care
Make 2025 the year of garbage disposal TLC. Avoid putting grease, coffee grounds, or fibrous foods like celery and potato peels down the drain. Run cold water while using it and keep it clean to prevent clogs and odors.
6. Invest in Smart Plumbing Upgrades
Consider upgrading your home with smart plumbing technology. Water leak detectors, smart water heaters, and even smart toilets can make your home more efficient and help you catch potential problems early.
