Change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors when you move your clocks forward Saturday evening.

Changing these batteries whenever you reset clocks for daylight savings time is a good habit to cultivate. We'll continue to assist with these timely reminders.

A carbon monoxide (CO) safety check is performed with every Cape Cod Master Plumbers preventaive maintenance service. Carbon monoxide is the leading cause of poisoning death in the U.S. Burners need period adjustment to prevent inefficient burning and to control these deadly odorlesss fumes. We test ambient air and all fuel burners as well as vent pipe integrity and proper venting of flue gasses with precision instruments.

And don't forget to periodically test your sump pump.

Heavy spring rains bring flooding. Every year we're called to replace failed sump pumps after our customers have suffered the hassles and expensive damage of basement flooding. Periodic testing will insure that yours is ready when needed.

The test is easy. Locate your pump in a well in the floor of your basement or crawl space. The pump should start when you lift the float arm on its side. If yours won't start, call us or click to schedule a visit. For added assurance, ask us about installing a back-up battery or a water-powered pump. These will maintain protection even when power fails.
