Save your plumbing this summer! Here are some tips:
💧 1. Watch Water Usage
Summer means more laundry, showers, and outdoor activities—spread out water-heavy tasks to avoid overloading your plumbing.
🌳 2. Be Mindful of Tree Roots
Tree roots search for water in dry soil and can invade underground pipes. If you notice slow drains or gurgling toilets, get it checked early.
🚿 3. Check Outdoor Spigots and Hoses
Inspect for leaks or cracks. A small drip can waste gallons of water and spike your utility bill.
🍉 4. Dispose of Food Properly
Summer BBQs = more grease and scraps. Don’t pour grease down the drain and keep fibrous foods (like corn husks and melon rinds) out of the garbage disposal.
🌊 5. Pool Maintenance Matters
If you have a pool, make sure backflow prevention devices are working and monitor for any signs of plumbing strain.
🧼 6. Clean Your Drains Regularly
With increased shower use, hair and soap can build up quickly. Use a drain screen and clear debris regularly.
☀️ 7. Schedule a Plumbing Inspection
A quick check-up now can prevent expensive repairs later—especially before hosting summer guests.
