TOP 5 SUMMER PLUMBING TIPS

Summer is here! Most of the time, we think about
how certain seasons can impact our plumbing, our
mind immediately thinks of winter and cold
temperatures. Many homeowners are not aware
that the warm weather of summer brings its own
set of challenges for your homes plumbing.

Well! Its important to keep plumbing systems
maintained year- round, but even more during the
summer season when kids are on summer
vacation. It's the ideal time to give your
plumbing system a thorough inspection. In the
warm weather, you have plenty of daylight hours
to look over any parts of the system that are
outside the house. And using lots of water and
flushing your toilet too often increases your
risk for plumbing issues!

Here are five tips to make sure your home
plumbing system is prepared for summer
5
Check for leaks
Summer is the best time to check for leaks.
Spend a whole day searching for leaks in your
home that include sinks, faucets, water lines,
dishwasher hoses, water heaters, and anywhere
else water moves or is stored. Also look for
rust, corrosion, broken or bent parts, and
other signs of trouble.
6
Clear the Drains
Most homeowners leave these issues unaddressed,
but during the summer months, drain cleaning
becomes an important matter as your family is
using sinks, toilets, showers, and appliances
morning to night. A clog left untreated, can
damage pipes, and lead to septic backflow or
worse!
7
Inspect your Sprinklers
Sprinkler systems are notorious for leaks and if
we are inspecting sprinkler heads periodically
we can spot problems easily. Because a small
leak can waste enough water and raise your bill
too. Check for sprinklers and if they are not
working properly, then they may get clogged
but if they are rusted or damaged they need
to be replaced.
8
Prepare your Home for Vacation
Are you planning to go on a long vacation this
hot summer? The very first thing is to shut off
the main valve, which typically looks like a
wheel with spokes. And if the main valve is
open, the water will continue to spew, but
not if the main valve is shut and it also
protects us against water theft.
9
Keep Gutters Debris- Free
One of the most common and important summer
plumbing tips is to clean your gutters! Left
unchecked, the gutters
may improperly
route attic,
rainwater into your and
basement,
foundation.
When summer hits, be sure to inspect your
gutters and clear them out if necessary.
