High temperatures don't just dry out grass or overwork your HVAC — they can take a serious toll on your drain and sewer systems, too.
Whether you're managing a busy household, a restaurant, or a multi-family property, heat accelerates grease buildup, dries out unused traps, and pushes plumbing systems to the limit.
Here’s how to stay ahead of summer clogs:
Flush infrequently used drains weekly (think basements, utility sinks, vacant units)
Never pour grease down the sink — post reminders where needed
Schedule regular cleanings and video inspections to catch issues early
Avoid disruptions before they start. Zoom Drain keeps everything flowing — even in peak summer heat.
