As temperatures rise, so do certain plumbing issues around your home.
Here's what we're seeing more of this season and how you can stay ahead of trouble:
Shower Drain Slowdowns 🚿
With kids home from school and everyone cooling off more frequently, your drains are working overtime. Hair, soap buildup, and increased usage can lead to stubborn blockages. Consider using drain guards and give your drains a good clean before minor slowdowns become major problems.
Kitchen Sink & Food Waste Issues 🍉
Summer means fresh sweetcorn, strawberry tops, and allotment harvests – but your kitchen sink isn't designed for fibrous materials and large quantities of food waste. Be mindful of what goes down the plughole.
Outdoor Plumbing 🌱
Garden hoses often get a serious workout during summer. Check for kinks, cracks, and loose connections at outside taps. That constant water pressure from sprinklers and daily watering can reveal weak spots in your outdoor plumbing.
A little prevention goes a long way.
Regular maintenance now can save you from emergency callouts during your summer holidays.
