As the days get longer and the temperatures rise in Southeastern Connecticut, it’s time to prepare your home for the spring and summer seasons. While you’re tackling your spring cleaning checklist, don’t forget about your plumbing! After a long winter, your home’s plumbing may need some attention to ensure everything is running smoothly. At Densmore Oil and Bugbee Plumbing, we’re here to help with all your seasonal plumbing needs. Here’s a checklist to get your plumbing ready for warm weather:

Turn On Your Water for the Season
If you shut off your outdoor water supply or winterize your seasonal home, now is the time to reengage the water supply. Our plumbers can drain the antifreeze from your lines and help ensure that your home is ready for the spring and summer that lie before us. If you didn’t winterize your outdoor spigots and simply turned off the water, check for leaks and damage before fully opening the faucet. Cold temperatures can cause pipes to crack, and unnoticed leaks can lead to wasted water, unnecessary damage, and high utility bills. If you notice any issues, be sure to reach out to our experts for help with repairs or replacements.
Outdoor Shower Installation
An outdoor shower is a convenient addition for summer fun, whether you’re rinsing off after a swim or washing away yard work dirt before heading inside. The Densmore and Bugbee Plumbing team can install a durable and efficient outdoor shower that connects seamlessly to your existing plumbing. This upgrade adds value to your home and makes outdoor living even more enjoyable.
Drain Cleaning
Spring is the perfect time for a professional drain cleaning to remove any buildup that may have accumulated over the winter months. Slow drains or frequent clogs can indicate a deeper issue. A professional cleaning from a Densmore and Bugbee Plumbing expert will keep your plumbing flowing freely, preventing costly backups and unpleasant odors.
Sump Pump Services
Springtime rain can put a lot of stress on your basement and sump pump. If your pump hasn’t been serviced in a while, it’s important to check that it’s working properly. A malfunctioning sump pump can lead to costly water damage and basement flooding. Our experts can inspect, test, and repair your sump pump to ensure your home stays dry. Are you having drainage issues and don’t have a sump pump? We can install one for you too.
