Common Summer Plumbing Problems

Leaking Pipes

One of the most common plumbing issues during the summer is leaking pipes. The increased water usage from activities like watering the garden, filling the pool, and taking more frequent showers can put a strain on your plumbing system. Leaks can occur in various parts of your home, including under sinks, in walls, and even underground.

Signs of Leaking Pipes:
– Unexplained increase in water bills
– Damp spots on walls, ceilings, or floors
– Mold or mildew growth
– Musty odors

If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to address the issue promptly. Ignoring a leak can lead to more significant problems, including water damage and mold growth.

Clogged Drains

Summer activities often lead to clogged drains. Whether it’s sand from the beach, grease from barbecues, or hair from frequent showers, these materials can accumulate and cause blockages.

Preventing Clogged Drains:
– Use drain covers to catch hair and debris
– Avoid pouring grease down the drain
– Regularly clean your drains with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar

If you’re already dealing with a stubborn clog, Natchez is here to help. We’re currently offering a $99 Drain Clearing Special to ensure your drains are flowing smoothly all summer long.

Sewer Line Backups

Heavy summer rains can overwhelm your sewer system, leading to backups. This is not only unpleasant but can also pose health risks.

Preventing Sewer Line Backups:
– Ensure your gutters and downspouts are clear of debris
– Install a backwater valve to prevent sewage from backing up into your home
– Schedule regular sewer line inspections

Expert Tips for Summer Plumbing Maintenance

  1. Inspect Your Pipes: Regularly check for signs of leaks or corrosion. Early detection can save you from costly repairs down the line.
  2. Maintain Your Water Heater: Flush your water heater to remove sediment buildup, which can reduce efficiency and lead to malfunctions.
  3. Check Your Sprinkler System: Ensure that your sprinkler heads are functioning correctly and that there are no leaks in the system.
  4. Monitor Water Pressure: High water pressure can strain your plumbing system and lead to leaks. Consider installing a pressure regulator to maintain optimal pressure levels.
