Get Your Plumbing Ready For The Summer 

Summer’s almost here, and with it comes outdoor parties, barbecues, and family gatherings. But before you dive into the fun, make sure your plumbing system is up to the task. A plumbing emergency during a summer bash can quickly put a damper on your plans. Here are some essential tips from Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing to ensure your plumbing is ready for the summer ahead.

Summer Season Plumbing Tips

1. Inspect Outdoor Plumbing: Start by checking your hose spigots, sprinkler systems, and irrigation lines. Replace worn-out sprinkler heads and look for leaks in underground irrigation lines. Don’t forget to inspect your hose spigot for any hidden leaks inside the wall.
2. Clear Drains and Check Fixtures: Kitchen and bathroom drains are prone to clogs and leaks. Remove items under sinks to inspect drain pipes and faucets for leaks. Watch how fast water drains from sinks and address any clogs or leaks immediately. Avoid using liquid drain cleaners as they can damage pipes.
3. Service Your Sump Pump: Heavy summer rains can lead to basement floods if your sump pump isn’t working correctly. Have a professional inspect and clean your sump pump to ensure it’s ready to handle any excess water.
4. Fix Toilet Leaks: Leaking toilets can waste water and lead to costly repairs. Have a certified plumber inspect your toilets for leaks and worn-out components. Addressing toilet leaks early can save you money on your water bill and prevent future damage.
5. Drain Your Water Heater: Sediment buildup in your water heater can lead to corrosion and reduced efficiency. Drain your water heater annually to remove sediment and extend its lifespan. A professional plumber can perform this task for you as part of routine maintenance.
