Plumbing Tips for Home Owners

How Annual Seasonal Changes affect your plumbing

Summer - Summer is a time for relaxation and fun, but it can also put stress on your plumbing system. Increased water usage from activities like watering the lawn, filling up the pool, and taking more showers can strain your plumbing system. It's important to be mindful of your water usage and make any necessary repairs or upgrades to ensure your plumbing can handle the increased demand. 

Another issue that can arise in the summer is sewer line problems. Heavy rainstorms can overwhelm the sewer system, causing backups and flooding. To prevent this, make sure your gutters and downspouts are clear of debris and direct water away from your home's foundation. You can also consider installing a sump pump to help prevent basement flooding.

Fall - As the leaves start to fall, it's important to keep your gutters and downspouts clear of debris. Clogged gutters can cause water to back up and damage your roof, siding, and foundation. Additionally, fall is a good time to have your septic tank inspected and pumped if necessary. Regular maintenance can help prevent costly septic system failures.
