PLUMBING

TIPS

Summer is here! Most of the time, we think about how certainseasons can impact our plumbing, our mind immediately thinksof winter and cold temperatures. Many homeowners are notaware that the warm weather of summer brings its own set ofchallenges for your home’s plumbing.

Well! It’s 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 homeplumbing system is prepared for summer

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.

Check for leaks

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!

Clear the Drains

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.

Inspect your Sprinklers

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.
