Local Plumber in Ellicott City, MD Uses World Plumbing Day to Highlight Spring Plumbing Tips

Ellicott City, MD – Earlier this month, plumbing technicians across the globe commemorated World Plumbing Day. Each year, this event is used to promote the important work performed by plumbers in keeping communities healthy and safe. Heil Plumbing, a locally owned plumber in Ellicott City, MD, is using the month of March and World Plumbing Day to encourage their customers to prepare their outside faucets for Spring.

In 2010, the United States Congress and the United States Senate passed a bipartisan resolution to officially declare March 11 World Plumbing Day, thanks to the efforts of the World Plumbing Council. This day is now used to show appreciation for the hardworking business that focuses on sustaining communities, protecting the environment by using safer sanitation practices, and ensuring that communities have ample access to clean water. Edward Heil, the owner of Heil Plumbing, says, “water is the world’s most precious resource, and it is our job to continue to help provide this life-sustaining resource to our community!”

With the first day of Spring also occurring in March, Heil Plumbing is taking the time to remind their customers to begin preparing their outdoor plumbing fixtures for the warmer season. Turning the outside faucets back on after winter is a simple, but important process. After ensuring that all outside faucets are turned to the off position, the first step is to turn on the main water valve inside the house. By doing so, customers will be able to quickly locate any water leakage that may have been caused by a split or burst pipe during the below-freezing temperatures of the winter season. After performing these checks, outside faucets are ready to be used for any outdoor Spring projects. If any leaks are detected, it is important to quickly contact a plumbing professional to quickly repair the issue and prevent any further lasting damage.

As a local and family-owned business, Heil Plumbing is dedicated to offering only the highest quality residential and commercial plumbing services and water leak repair in Ellicott City, Columbia, Fulton, Laurel, and the surrounding areas.
