Avoid Drain Dilemmas: Pre-Summer Tips for a Trouble-Free Home
As the spring blossoms give way to the warmth of summer, homeowners across Northeastern Pennsylvania begin preparing their homes for the hotter months. However, amidst all the excitement and planning, it’s crucial not to overlook potential plumbing challenges that can surface during this time. Debbie K., a satisfied customer, recently shared how T.E. Spall & Son’s proactive approach saved her home from extensive water damage, saying, “The technician quickly identified a leak I didn’t know existed, which would have been a disaster come summer!” This real-life scenario underscores the importance of preparing your plumbing system before the summer heat sets in.
Understanding the Risks: Why Pre-Summer Checks Are Crucial
The Summer Effect on Plumbing
During summer, higher temperatures can exacerbate existing plumbing issues, turning minor nuisances into major headaches. Pipes expand and contract with temperature changes, which can lead to leaks or breaks. It’s no wonder that water use also spikes as we turn to outdoor activities, and neglecting these factors can stress your plumbing system.
Common Summer Plumbing Issues
- Clogged Drains: With more family gatherings and activities come the increased likelihood of clogged kitchen and bathroom drains.
- Sprinkler Leaks: Regular lawn and garden maintenance can lead to undetected sprinkler system leaks.
- Outdoor Faucet Drips: Unseen damages from winter can lead to wasted water and inflated bills during the summer.
Tips for a Summer-Ready Plumbing System
1. Schedule a Professional Inspection
A professional inspection is a proactive way to prevent plumbing disasters. T.E. Spall & Son’s licensed plumbers provide thorough whole-home inspections. They catch issues before they escalate, ensuring your plumbing system is robust enough to handle summer demands.
2. Regular Drain Maintenance
Consider scheduling routine maintenance to keep your drains in top shape. Regular cleanings can prevent such situations and save you from costly repairs.
3. Check Your Water Heater
Water heaters work harder throughout the year, and a malfunction can lead to sudden failures. Routine checks and maintenance by professionals, using top-grade brands like Bradford White, are recommended for reliable performance.
4. Inspect Sprinklers and Outdoor Faucets
Look for leaks and repair immediately. A small unhandled leak can waste gallons of water, attributing to higher utility bills and water waste. Turn to T.E. Spall & Son for quick and efficient inspections and repairs if needed.
