Prevention and maintenance
Clean the aerator a few times per year to remove debris; municipal work can stir sediment, so flush lines after hydrant activity in neighborhoods around Lake Union or Rainier Valley. Operate shutoff valves quarterly and replace braided supply lines on a sensible maintenance cycle. Avoid harsh cleaners that damage finishes; wipe water spots to protect chrome, stainless, or matte coatings.
Consider leak sensors and a drip tray under the sink for early alerts. Water hammer arrestors help in condo towers. Insulate lines that pass through unheated garages or ADUs. During seasonal kitchen upkeep, check caulking and gaskets at the faucet base to prevent seepage.
