Fall in Las Vegas doesn’t mean snowstorms and frozen driveways—but that doesn’t mean you can skip plumbing maintenance! The desert climate presents unique challenges, including hard water, sudden temperature drops at night, and heavy seasonal water use. At Mach 1 Plumbing, we’ve put together this fall plumbing checklist for Las Vegas homeowners to help protect your home and avoid costly repairs.
1. Insulate Outdoor and Garage Pipes
While Las Vegas days stay warm, nighttime temperatures can dip fast in the fall. Exposed pipes in garages, outdoor walls, and crawl spaces are at risk of cracking when temperatures swing. Adding insulation now can save you from emergency repairs later.
2. Disconnect and Drain Outdoor Hoses
Even in the desert, leftover water in your hoses or sprinkler lines can expand when temperatures drop. Disconnect and drain all hoses, shut off irrigation systems if possible, and use faucet covers for extra protection.
3. Service Your Water Heater
Las Vegas homes are notorious for hard water buildup, which can shorten your water heater’s lifespan. Fall is the perfect time to flush your water heater, check for leaks, and make sure it’s ready to deliver reliable hot water all winter long.
4. Check for Leaks Inside and Out
Inspect under sinks, around toilets, and outside near your hose bibs. Even a small drip can waste gallons of water—a big deal in Las Vegas, where water conservation matters. Plus, fixing leaks now keeps your water bill under control.
5. Clear Drains and Garbage Disposal
With holidays around the corner, your kitchen plumbing will be working overtime. Fall is a great time to clear drains, clean your garbage disposal, and prevent clogs before guests arrive.
6. Schedule a Professional Plumbing Inspection
The best way to avoid plumbing surprises? A fall inspection from a trusted Las Vegas plumber. At Mach 1 Plumbing, we’ll check your water heater, drains, and pipes to make sure everything is ready for the cooler months ahead.
