What can I do after the winter is over to ensure that the colder weather has not created any plumbing dangers or problems?
The most important thing to do is to check the water hoses and valves behind your washer and dryer for moisture, corrosion, excessive lint or swelling. Since a damaged vent hose on your dryer can cause a carbon monoxide leak, its a vital safety step. Damage to these hoses can also increase air condition bills, and affect home cleanliness and humidity. Check your water heater and water heater closet as well for signs of damage, flammables, and proper settings. Check under your sinks for mold and moisture.
